In general the commits made after the build are invalid as they could rely on changes that need to be rolled back. The main issue is how are the rolled back changes identified and the responsible parties notified so that the breakage is fixed soon.

Not all tests are equal, which is why I only wanted to see this validated against integration tests where a failure means some contract usage is broken.
