Hold up, are we seriously considering not running any tests? That's just asking for trouble. The infrastructure team may have said there would be no impact, but we all know that's not a guarantee.

I believe option A is the most logical choice. It's better to be cautious and ensure everything is working properly before running all the tests.

I think the best approach is to gradually run the tests and confirm the functionality. We don't want to risk the whole suite breaking if there's an issue.
