Sure everyone likes to watch glibc failing? :P </joke> |

Well, can't be done until bugs such as |

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69343 are solved (at least as in |
| 10 |
sticking RESTRICT=test there) instead of being ignored. |

See above. And even then, I don't think it's a good idea to force this |
| 18 |
upon users. Lots of packages have tests that are very time-consuming, |
| 19 |
and there are packages that always fail tests and it's pretty much |
| 20 |
expected (PHP is one of them; and while the failure isn't fatal there, |
| 21 |
it still takes tons of time to go thru those ~2000 tests). And there are |
| 22 |
tons of packages where tests are more or less unmaintained. |
