Since LAVA:

1. Can't reliably boot all the builds in all configurations
2. Doesn't use linaro-android-media-create (which we tell users to use)
3. Doesn't use the right bootloaders

We've always hand tested our builds to ensure they work. Until LAVA:

1. Can program a build in the same manner we tell users to
2. Doesn't assume anything about the target, like it even booting

We have to keep hand testing.
