It would, but it's conceptually ugly and it might make it much harder
to detangle the cause of a failure, so I don't care for it much.

I don't have any great ideas here. Your point about the test having
helped to find a lot of bugs is compelling, and so is the fact that
it's seemingly exposing more issues we've not understood yet.
Maybe we can eventually buy back the cycles by not running it by
default, but clearly now is not the time for that.
