It's not really the end of the world if a test fails.  While 
tagged releases should ideally all pass, some failures can occur 
that are not our fault (i.e: x32 has a libc bug that causes some 
syscalls to fail and trigger asserts in a couple libphobos tests).

For non-tagged builds, I imagine we'd just be replacing the 
previously built tarball based on the given branch it was built 
off, so if something really is broken, in the worst case we just 
wait until a fix goes in and retrigger CI.  Or if some downstream 
is affected, we'd have some sort of versioning in place (such as 
syncthing) to do a quick restore.
