We turned it off. It was annoying any not valuable enough. Running some of ci just before deploy is enough to be safe and main is very rarely red.

Oh my... I probably turned that toggle on 8 years ago without fully grasping the impact and spend the last 5 years frustrated thinking forgeting we even had the choice. Thanks to your post, I realised we don't have to live that way 🤣. Thank you for drawing my attention to this 🙏.

yeah, it's an unusable feature when you have a slightly long CI time (3-5 min) and many PRs being merged at the same time - we had it on for a while and we quickly shut it down, super annoying

I don't understand why GH doesn't provide "max age" / "max depth" / "checkpoint commit" mechanisms to make this more acceptable to high-velocity repositories.
