Part of the learning process we all went through.

Depends on what you are doing in playground and the whether you want those 
changes propagated back into master?

If you are trying out stuff that is experimental, keep it in playground, but if 
you are working around issues and resolve it in playground, then clean it up, 
and merge the final tweak back into master, which gives it another CI run to 
check you did not do, or fail to do, something that would affect the build.
