10 Any arch team that wants tests by default on their arch can just add
11 test to FEATURES in their arch profiles; magically the users running
12 that arch will get the tests run (with USE=test set) by default. Users
13 who don't want tests can always turn them off in make.conf.

15 So I struggle to grasp why this must be mandated via EAPI, since the
16 arches who want testing could just turn it on.
