Such breakage can include: + + * Failures in Travis or Taskcluster runs for this repository, either on the + master branch or on pull requests following the breaking change. + + * Breakage in browser engine repositories which import and run + web-platform-tests, such as Chromium, Edge, Gecko, Servo and WebKit. + + * Breakage in results collections systems for results dashboards, such as + [wpt.fyi](https://wpt.fyi). + +When such breakage happens, if the maintainers of the affected systems request +it, pull requests to revert the original change should normally be approved and +merged as soon as possible. (When the original change itself was fixing a +serious problem, it's a judgement call, but prefer the fastest path to a stable +state acceptable to everyone.) + +Once a revert has happened, the maintainers of the affected systems are +expected to work with the original patch author to resolve the problem so that +the change can be relanded. A reasonable timeframe to do so is within one week. |
