Interrupted builds make it difficult to deploy to production
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/23464/diffs introduced a new feature under the ci_support_interruptible_pipelines
feature flag. The problem is that for an active repository, the constant canceling of pipelines makes it difficult for any pipeline to succeed (e.g. master
in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/pipelines).
I'm not sure the best way to resolve this. Ideas:
- Don't cancel if the branch is the default branch
- Allow at least one other pipeline to be running at all times
