IMHO, that's a myth. Did a single test case ever in your entire life
help you to understand a piece of code? It never happened to me so far
:-)

The rational behind my opinion is that I do not care about the tests
of the other packages when I develop software. Did you ever (other
than by accident) run the Collection or Compiler tests when you
developed some of your code?

Btw, the same is true for the Monticello working copies. I frankly do
not care what version of Collection or Compiler is loaded in my image.
Sometimes I just drop all this information before I load my code. This
greatly reduces clutter.
