Yeah, the DEVELOPER=YesPlease was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Reproducibility would mean we see less test breakages due to raciness, but I do not recall a case where digging into test breakage due to raciness led to discovery of and fix to a real breakage in Git itself, so it is probably a good thing. Thanks.
