Mass-rebuilds must go via the `staging` branch. It must only see non-breaking commits that are fixing issues blocking it from being merged into the `master ` branch. If the branch is already in a broken state, please refrain from adding extra new breakages. Stabilize it for a few days and then merge into master.
