... so maybe there is no point in asking people to submit successful
test reports.  After all, what value is there in them?

If we want to have more successful test reports, ask people to add
machines to the buildfarm instead, and/or enable the 9.2 branch.  Just
for fun, here's the list of animals that are running 9.1 but not 9.2:

anchovy anole baiji bushpig castoroides cormorant dugong fennec grebe
hamerkop hawker jaguarundi lyrebird mastodon mongoose mule mussel
narwhal okapi polecat protosciurus raven reindeer smew smilodon
