I think I'll do programming languages, and tag those which have not yet been

I plan to do that on both 32 and 64 bit VM's in parallel.
I'll run the tests, otherwise, I'll use only required and recommended deps,
with associated commands (no doc, for example, if they require an optional
package).
I am not doing a 32-bit test and I generally don't run the tests when tagging.
My logic is that the tests were run when the package was put in th ebook or last
updated.
I do try try to run a program when an executable is built, but libraries can
really only be tested when a program links to it.
I do try to build optional deps though, but not always. In some cases it's a
circular dependency and there is just too much to do to try to test all of that.
You would almost have to run though every package in BLFS twice.
I'll note that upstream does not do what we do. They build and test in full
environments. I think our methodology is, if not unique, at least more
demanding than most.
