As someone who doesn't have committer access, I like the change to the CQ.
Before, I might have to wait 3 days for a patch to land since the CQ would
wait for all the core builders to be green. Meanwhile, committers see that
the CQ is behind and commit directly instead, so the tree stays on fire and
the CQ gets even further behind. I don't care if the commit queue behavior
is reverted, but if it is, it'd be really nice if committers tried to follow
the same commit policy as the bot.
