   + had a high number of failures this week (Cloph)
   + flip side: ML has obvious improvements on average build time
   + ML job currently uses clang/dbgutil
     + replace the "canary" build with gcc/release? (Miklos)
     + feedback on ML? (Thorsten)
       + to the setup in general?
       + to the current config of the setup?
     + clang failures are now more visible because that's the canary one (Cloph)
     + use jenkins:all (as gerrit topic) to force the old 6 builds in parallel behaviour
     + most of my failures are unrelated to to the changes I do (Khaled)
       + a stuck UITest is not very helpful to see if other platforms fail or not
       + having a more stable canary build would have more chance to be useful
