We've too often criticized patches for carrying many lines/bytes of test case additions. Let's continue to demand debuggable, secure tests that fail only when something is wrong, but let's stop pushing for test minimalism. Such objections may improve the individual patch, but that doesn't make up for the chilling effect on test contributions. I remember clearly the first time I submitted thorough test coverage with a feature. Multiple committers attacked it in the name of brevity. PostgreSQL would be better off with 10x its current test bulk, even if the average line of test code were considerably less important than we expect today.
