I disagree, of course. :)

Unstable tests are a massive problem, because they reduce the overall trust
we have in the test suite. For a test suite to be meaningful, it needs to be
a rock solid contract between the developers and the testers, or users. I
think I'm preaching to the choir here though. As far as I understand it, the
current goal is to move the test suite to a CLI version, and morph the Futon
tests into a high-level sanity check.
