I disagree, but will not oppose.
I'm +1 on this but it might have been nice to have some announcement that this was changed (since it required an update to the patchbot client--otherwise it dies trying to find the trusted authors list now).
How would you announce it? We can have an empty list of trusted users on the server that would also prevent the patchbot from doing anything. But I don't see the difference. Of course, something needs to be done on the wiki https://wiki.sagemath.org/buildbot before the release.
@videlec I just meant a note, sage, on sage-devel that patchbot clients would need to be upgraded. Because now when they try to contact the server for the trusted authors list it sits there for a while getting 404s and then gives up, and then no tests work.
That's fine--I'm just saying that if a change to the server can't be made in a way that's backwards-compatible for old clients then this should be pointed out rather than patchbots starting to break unexpectedly.
my fault. I should not have upgraded the server without saying it loud on sage-devel. Now we need to make a patchbot "release" 2.7.1 and ask all clients to update.
or re-introduce the code on the server side, that was deleted with no reason..
We do remove the concept of "trusted users" from client and server (fixes #121)
