Hi,

- There is a certain value in having separate tests, just that for the
big-tests to be any meaningful, if the buildfarm could run on a periodic
(daily?) basis and send some kind of automated bug-reports. Without an
automatic feedback, most may not inclined to run all tests before
submitting a patch and there'd be a big pile up near a release.

- For now, the new tests that I submit for review (for next CF) would be
for 'make check', until a 'make bigcheck' or whatever is up and running.
