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

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