Wikimedia uses deployment branches. Just because someone +2/merges into master doesn't mean it immediately shows up on Wikimedia servers. It needs to go into a deployment branch, then it needs to get deployed by a person. Also, we use a gating model, so tests are required to pass before something is merged. I believe there are some tests that are essential, but take too long to run, so they aren't gating, but the situation isn't as dire as you claim.
OK, then how did this change get deployed if it "broke" tests?
