My idea was to test the pre-release version with one or two more sets of tests. Some bugs are subtle and only appear in very few code paths. This project hit a bug in last version, so it was a good candidate for an additional test.
With the current head, the test of the project are running correctly (minus the unstable part, but there are no guaranties about the unstable collection).
