FWIW, I think the fix in the default trigger_exclude pattern is important
and most buildfarm owners will want to adopt it. The intention of that
pattern has always been to not run a build cycle if only doc or .po files
changed, but it was done wrong, resulting in running a build anyway for
doc-only changes. So unless you are running "build_docs" or "dist" tests,
you'll want that fix to save useless builds.

(OTOH, if you are running such tests, you'll want to annotate the fact
that you're intentionally using a nondefault pattern, so you don't break
it later.)
