What does this MR do and why?
Increases the pipeline freshness check from 8 to 12 hours.

Freedom and responsibility over rigidity
When possible, we give people the responsibility to make a decision and hold them accountable for that, instead of imposing rules and approval processes. You should have clear objectives and the freedom to work on them as you see fit. Freedom and responsibility are more efficient than rigidly following a process, or creating interdependencies, because they enable faster decision velocity and higher rates of iteration.
This is a 2-way door decision. We can easily revert it.
