In -current, you and your commit privileges are reasonably safe as
long as you're at least willing to deal with any potential "this sucks
because ..." arguments that may come up and, should those arguments
prove convincing enough, be willing to back the changes out again.
It's only the folks that get sticky over such issues that ever get the
Big Stick waved at them. :-)

Needless to say, you're also expected to make every reasonable effort
to stress test the code on a local machine before committing it.
"Well, it compiled!" is not anyone's idea of a proper acceptance
test. ;)
