Great idea, everyone merges to master without a second pair of eyes catching that subtle bug in a fundamental function that causes data corruption over the course of a month before a customer notifies you about it because there is no test for that particular case, except now mainline is over 500 commits and 10 features ahead and 6 of those depend on that function plus there have been 5 schema changes in the meantime, two of which can't be rolled back without losing other customer data.

Great Idea.
