Some do stand out quite harshly. Consider #651748 [1] where the UI
is trashed by multi-arch related error messages from the resolver.
This is non-fatal but still a serious blocker.
I have not encountered it since some recent changes, however,
neither have I conducted an analysis to determine whether or not
it is actually resolved.
