Yeah, that's a valid concern. I don't see anyway to avoid that risk. I don't think 3 months is so long that the bitrot will be that huge should this prove a failure, but that's just a gut feeling and I have little to base that on, save how often page and windmill tests seem to be changed normally. Usually the changes are simple string substitutions. I, of course, would be willing to take on this pain and fix the tests since I'm the one proposing the experiment.
