Who in their right mind does a rebuild and redeploy without automatic tests and gradual deployment?!? Surely, by now, that's implicit in "rebuild and redeploy"?

1. I wasn't answering you.
2. Not very convenient for the main topic to be implicit. Might explain some of the length and confusion.

Perhaps you shouldn't have been implicit about who you were answering if you dislike the confusion - I replied because LWN's commenting system sent me an e-mail as your comment was a reply to a reply to one of my comments.

And yes, I agree that the implicitness is a problem. A lot of what I'm seeing in this thread is people who are making assumptions about the work practices of another group which no longer apply today - and then asserting that that group is doing something bad because you're assuming something about how they work.
