Sounds good. Everything goes through param-pull, so make it the most 
stringent.

My assumption is it would be a rare thing to introduce a bug that passes 
with a security manager but fails without.

Less good. I occasionally skip master-ignore and just merge something 
once it's passed param-pull, if I know the param-pull test ran against 
latest master. I roll the dice that the teamcity Windows tests of 
master-ignore wouldn't have found a problem. :) But I wouldn't want to 
roll the dice on both security manager and Windows.

+1. I'd say the regular master job runs with the security manager. 
Again, make the more common test the more stringent one.
