They shouldn't be tested on every build the same we we don't test 3rd party 
cache stores on every build. Once a day should be enough IMO.
Also we'll have the FileCacheStore and the RemoteCacheStore that run on every 
build.

no :-) fix it as soon as it is spotted and ad a test in the core suite to make 
sure it won't happen again.

Possibly. Things should improve with time though, as unit tests are added to 
catch the failures.

The main reason is: if we fix a critical bug e.g. JDBC cache store we can 
release it immediately without an full release cycle and people can take 
advantage of that sooner.
