> If you are not even compiling a change, then why would you submit it? For example, some people send doc fixes. Sometimes these doc fixes have "bugs" that actually make compilation fail. Like adding a line break and forgetting to mark the next line as a comment... Compiling LLVM for such changes takes quite a bit of time, so of course people don't even do it.
