Maybe i explain myself wrongly, i'm not blaming distros at all. 

They made a decision, we/I may agree with them or not, that's *my/our* problem, what I was disagreeing is to us having to do extra work because someone elses (the distros) decision.

And yes, totally, we need more autotests, and moving to gitlab so tests are finally run *before* merging stuff.
