I haven't reviewed the whole patch, but as someone who'd really prefer
that every bug fix be accompanied by a regression test if possible, I
don't think we should be discouraging people from writing them. Don't
waste resources, sure, but don't avoid writing tests. A committer can
always strip an overly-expensive test out before committing.
