I mean you at least need to make sure you don't break the current code when you clean up or bring up new stuff.

Don't block me, I never broke the code.
I totally object to the tone of this response.
This shouldn't be about blocking anyone but about what things we can do to make the process work better for everyone. What tools can we build that will cut down on the number of brown paper bag incidents.
A checkin hook that calls abuild.sh and ensures everything succeeds may be one way to stop build problem from ever being checked in. Which is what I believe Stefan was suggesting.
Completely blocking people will make the problem worse as merges won't happen and the patch pressure will just build up. Or else changes will get dropped.
