It'd be better than the current test situation, and probably would be good to have as part of testing anyway (since it'd allow to make the tests not take long / be racy on slow machines). But I still don't think it really allows to test the feature in a natural way. It makes it easier to test for know edge cases / problems, but not really discover unknown ones. For that I think we need more granular bins. - Andres
