    Yeah, sure. I realise that. But if resources are going to be put into
    setting up a test bench, I'd hope that it's not too narrowly focussed.

    The FreeBSD ftp results prompted Larry to promote the idea of a
    "community" test bench. Let's see if we can expand the terms of
    reference.

    Are you suggesting that promoting a more flexible test bench is a bad
    idea?
