People who run stable won't see test failures, because developers and
arch testers and ~arch users will all have run the tests already and
made sure there aren't any failures. And if there *are* failures that
make it past all three levels of checking before stable, they really
need to be investigated -- chances are they're showing a legitimate
problem.
