One use case is bootstrapping. Another is just getting things to
build
till you have the time to investigate if a new test failure is an
actual problem or upstream being careless as usual. There are
probably
other use cases out there
Another fun case: someone broke the dep of a component used in unit
tests. Fixing the component requires rebuilding the dep. Except, the
dep uses the component itself in its own unit tests…
There are boundless possibilities for fun and profit there (well
profit, not so sure actually)
