Uh, you *are* testing things that use a library before you stable that
library, right?

Besides, if a newer version of a library breaks a package using it, you
most definitely want to know about it before you end up merging
something that won't work. If src_test is failing where it used to
work, it's a very good sign that something's broken, and you shouldn't
be carrying on.
