What a mess. Who is going to be testing all these million platforms? All this does nothing at all to help developers avoid bugs and when they do trigger debug the issue. Which is after all why we have testing. Yes once in a very long while we are going to tweak something in the tests, and for that rare occurence it makes sense to periodically rebuild everything, otherwise code bitrots. But the test is supposed to run within a VM anyway, let's have an image and be done with it. -- MST
