HELL NO. The point of mandatory code review to ship is a protection mechanism to force another coder to validate what has been presented to be safe for deployment. Coders today are still (mostly, for the time being) human and still make mistakes. Perhaps it should be possible to bypass code review and smoke testing for minor changes to code comments that do not change production artifacts. Another problem is creating sufficiently appropriate test infrastructure to retest the area(s) touched and exponentially/phase deploy looking for positive and negative signals.
