Hmm... I don't think it is blindly, at least, we can not say: "if tool
chain has issues, we should not use it, if we have no related hard
wares, it is useless to compile them".

We are focus on the contribution, not on whether others have issues or
'qualifications', if we are sure this patch should be useful, we need go
ahead.

For normal members, it is not quite important, but for managerial
members or a company, of cause, they will/should understand these rules.
