It is. But as you've seen over the years, it causes an unworkable amount of upset and alarm when large numbers of failures appear on the trunk all at once, and people who would otherwise be dealing with release issues now have trunk issues to worry about.
It also interferes with those of us who use trunk health to know when it's safe to merge fixes to the release branch. We're basically flying blind right now.

I'd like to second the call to revert these changes.
And while we at it, let's revert all the changes to Boost.Build, so I can run my own regression test against trunk version of it. I already reverted test_exec_monitor for now. I can reinstate other deprecated interfaces, but let's see if there is actually a problem (aside boost.math). Gennadiy
