Description
Do we want to implement an actual merge train / merge queue solution to prevent the situation we often have now where branches in the PR Merge Order > Merge Queue have to merge-in previous merges and rerun the entire CI suite?
We would need to be more careful about merge order, and people would need to be aware of everything ahead of them in the merge queue to prevent possible merge conflicts, etc, so there is a slightly higher demand on developers, but if used properly could improve time-to-merge and reduce overall CI usage.
