All reviewed patches have been landed. Closing bug.
80919 was landed by the commit queue how can it break the build. The whole point of the commit queue is that you can set cq+ and it will be safe. That's the only reason I use it. If it can't be trusted to ensure only non-breaking patches are landed it should be disabled.

It says right here <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56214#c12> that the patch will break the win build. The commit-queue just does what human contributors do: it builds and tests the patch on one platform (in this case Apple Mac).

The commit-queue just does what human contributors do: it builds and tests the patch on one platform (in this case Apple Mac). The commit queue lands at a random point in the future, if it's not checking all platforms, or ensuring that all platforms successfully built then anyone using it saying "i don't care if this breaks other builds at some point in the future when i may not be around". My _only_ reason for being okay with the commit queue was the (apparently mistaken) belief that it would not break the build. Given that it is willing to land breaking changes all it does is delay the failure until some time when the person most able to fix the failure is possibly no longer available. The commit queue has removed the need for a committer to land and watch the patch and placed that work onto whoever updates on the broken platform first, rather than whoever landed the patch.
If you're interested in continuing this discussion, I'd recommend emailing webkit-dev on the subject. Before doing that, you might wish to review the previous webkit-dev threads on this topic as it has been discussed before and I'm not aware of any facts that have changed.
