I essentially agree which is why I wrote in my message to Charlie a moment ago that the integration system could differentiate here based on what files were changed. Though maybe partial testsuite runs would be useful as well, e.g. if something changed in the rtti unit (which is in the rtl-objpas package) the tests for that unit/package should at least be run. This of course would require a few more adjustments to the testsuite, but it wouldn't be an unsolveable problem.
