What do you mean by "broken?"  If you mean "test failure," buildbot
catches those.  If you mean, "something does not now work on Launchpad
as it should," then I'm not sure I agree that entirely avoiding that
condition should be a prerequisite for continuous deployment.  That
seems a separate issue, regardless of deployment method.  But maybe
you're thinking something else entirely?


Cheers,
