In other words, are we really submitting LAVA jobs and not caring about the

Since LAVA:
- Can't reliably boot all the builds in all configurations
- Doesn't use linaro-android-media-create (which we tell users to use)
- Doesn't use the right bootloaders
We've always hand tested our builds to ensure they work. Until LAVA:
- Can program a build in the same manner we tell users to
- Doesn't assume anything about the target, like it even booting
We have to keep hand testing.
I think even if LAVA were perfect, hand testing is still required. And I won't (in this thread) debate the limitations your bringing up.
In my case, LAVA has been working pretty reliably for Panda for about 4 months now (at least for my benchmark jobs). When I saw it broken, I pushed the issue and the team found a fix pretty quickly. So shouldn't we have someone paying attention to at least Panda builds and raise an issue when they trend from mostly working to completely broken?
