Yeah my bias comes in here seeing builds go by all the time that do work properly, I forget the important bit is the builds the specific committer sees. So your take away isn't wrong at all. Unfortunate, but not a failure on the part of committers, instead a sign that the system should be improved.

We're asking a lot of folks to understand a whole other system, and explaining how to diagnose problems generally is too much to include here and something I wouldn't want folks to think they've got to spend too much time on.

Your feedback certainly backs up Alex's suggestions so I will add those now.
