I think it is beyond overkill to even try for b).  wildfly doesn't 
rebuild and run the test suite for a given change in jasper, for 
example. The entire idea that not even an actual change, but a potential 
change / PR, to base, could end up kicking off the entire product build 
and their associated test suites.  I think this is beyond overkill:  
it's dangerous and will sap computing power and lock up slaves doing 
what's essentially no-ops.

PR's change frequently.  Imagine a change in base that gets a few 
different revisions?  Suddenly I can't even update my PR to change some 
text string without it kicking off a potential entire build chain and 
test suite.

Not to mention, what if the upstream tests were already failing? You'd 
have to build all the upstream plugins with the OLD base, then build 
base, build everything, run all the tests, and somehow compare the new 
test results to the previous test results.

I think this is folly, and it should not be pursued at all.

Start with a), and finish with a).
