Speaking for myself, "A reasonable amount of time". 

There are going to be cases where you can't push all interdependent
packages at the same time. You should try and avoid that, but it could
well happen. 

This is one of the reasons we were talking about taskotron and
enforcement. There MUST be a way to override any auto enforcement for
at least: 

* I know this one thing is broken, but it's vastly less important than
  fixing all these others. 

* The test is wrong/broken/bugged.
