I see the tests as mainly useful during development, for detecting regressions. I think most people doing development will be working from git, rather than the distribution tarballs we ship. On the other hand, adding tests is also not that risky, so if the concensus is strongly in favour of integrating them pre 0.12, and somebody wants to review them all, then I'm willing to consider it. d
