Comment (by ellatrix):

 > It's hard to know why a number of hosts stopped reporting without
 performing direct outreach because error logs don't send, only the PHPUnit
 output for completed runs.

 Couldn't other commits cause similar issues when there are changes to the
 build process? Could we change it so that error logs are included? Could
 we figure out what the errors are? Do you have any suspicions on what the
 issue could be? I'm entirely unfamiliar with this area.

 > The GitHub Actions performance

 Could we measure again after the changset that skips the types? The
 performance issue sounds very important to you and I get that, we should
 definitely try to improve these as much as we can. We actually raised
 performance issues with the Github Actions in the last release due to a
 huge amount of actions for a number of different environments, but that
 was subsequently reverted? And If we actually merged both repositories,
 wouldn't the amount of additional code and additional tests cause an
 increase for the wordpress-develop repository?

 Looking at the one test that went up by 100% (`coding-standards.yml`), why
 did the new build process affect that? Is it necessary to build Gutenberg
 to run that test?

 > The version history has now ended for the files added to .gitignore
 where previously you could track every single change made to block files
 (one example) made in the context of one repository

 I believe only block PHP files were tracked, not the block JS. And that's
 just blocks, most of the code coming from Gutenberg was not tracked at
 all. Only a tiny fraction of those files ended up being tracked in the
 WordPress repo. I also think that the way we sync Gutenberg does not
 affect this. Versioning or not versioning specific files seems like a
 separate discussion to me.
