I dont see why this would block other devs merging in their work. And what kind of teams do you work in where you can't politely ask for someone's help when you have to deal with a personal issue?

Read the article. It says:

> If the CI job remains broken for more than 72 hours, all deployments to GitHub.com are halted

Edit: it even creates the perverse incentive of trying to get your own stuff in quickly before the 72h window closes that s/o else caused.
