Hi Ben,

You are absolutely right!
However, it's been like this for weeks. It was calming down on this
list around the pim sprint with just a few mails. However, recently
there have been a whole spam of ci mails with - lets say - 15/day.
That is so much noise that other (non automated) mails just get pushed
away even before i can see them.

It's just too much right now.
Granted: i don't see them at all anymore because i filter them out now
+ delete it.

But yes, people that break the build (and cause the mails) should fix
the build as well. Not just leave it to rot like seems to be happening
right now.
Some time before the recent pim sprint i was actively hunting down
those that break the build and mail them about the breakage. It didn't
seem to help..

So people, please! If you break the build, fix it.

Cheers,
Mark
