It is as if joyride is being used as part of developers' edit, compile
and test sequence.  Wouldn't it be more appropriate to do this sequence
privately before a developer releases their changes to the public?

Here's how it would happen ... the developer would build a new RPM,
install it on a test unit, test that it works, *before* publishing the
RPM for the joyride to pick up.  If any failures occur due to
integration against other developer changes, then stronger dependencies
should be added.

I'm also waiting for the joyride builds to be usable before I consume
download data resources on them.
