Because so far we've never made a big fuzz about a configuation
so obscrube that it takes build bot more than a week to find it.

That "obscure" config was a bog-standard "build the code".

With a new enough compiler that apparently very few other people, and
most importantly CI tools have.  Again, I'm not arguing this wasn't a
problem, but if there is a mismatch between what compiler you use and
most of the developers and CI infrastructure it isn't a case of
"code that isn't tested at all".
