Harsh. Automated tests are primarily for developers to spot regressions in their own code - if they happen to be useful to spot problems in an LFS build, that's just a bonus for us. Personally, I don't bother - they're critical when I'm writing code, but I rarely take the time to run them when simply installing someone else's work. Simon.
