While agree with the "Build Failed" notion in general, I often think that it's
a bit short sighted in that we make something marginally less annoying for us
the committers (really, is it that hard to fix?) and much harder for our users
b/c they have to go re-invent the wheel. Not everyone is an expert. We have to
balance those two. I think instead of putting up roadblocks on principal to
these kinds of things, we need to figure out ways to automate them and validate
them so that it is hard to break.

Hard to break what? I dont think we should have to jump through hoops to
improve tests...
I guess where we disagree here is that I don't think tests are for end users,
they are for development.
I don't think there is a balance here at all, its 100% tipped in favor of our
test coverage.
If we can jar all them up easily, like this original patch (which won't slow
down development at all,
since it will just compile all of them, no additional maintenance cost), then
thats great if someone
can make use of them...
