That test suite takes 58 seconds to run.  I think we can afford that.  In
any case, it runs on my machine, not on Daedalus.

This is happening.  Six months ago several key projects were in perpetual
alpha, and there was very little code sharing.  And Gump was just a
concept.

Six months later, look at how things have changed.  The mere thought that
somebody might not have addressed a problem 48 hours after it was detected
is being raised as an issue...

Gump and I are happy.
