Use Merged Results in GitLab CE/EE
Problem
Recently, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/framework/issues/106 caught a lot of attention. Our master
branch frequently had red pipelines and it disturbed our release streamline. Because of that, many developers had to keep eyes on #development channel for immediately acting on the fix aside from their primary tasks.
Meanwhile, in GitLab 11.10, we released the Combined ref pipelines feature, this feature proactively checks the pipeline result on master branch before the actual merge happens. This feature will derisk gitlab-ce3496950 of course, as the consequence, our throughputs would increase as developers are less bothered by the complicated gitlab-ce3496950 recovery process.
Proposal
Enable Combined ref pipelines in our development cycle.
