 In the last month or so, WP-CLI's build processes have regularly failed
 because of (what I believe are) throttled WordPress.org requests.

 Here's a classic example of a failed build:

 The build failed because installing the WordPress importer is a pre-
 condition of the import tests. Installing the WordPress importer doesn't
 normally fail — and the problem is almost always fixed by restarting the
 build.

 However, restarting the build on every pull request isn't even a short
 term satisfactory solution. It's really annoying to have builds failing
 all of the time because of unrelated issues. I'd prefer not to implement a
 hack workaround though. What can be done to improve the reliability of our
 connection with WordPress.org?
