Hi Michael,
thanks, even that's appreciated.

It was a general question. While it's nice that people run "make test" and
sometimes "make its", it would be even nicer if we got regular feedback
from actual test environments. If we got people to publish any metrics
they gather (performance or otherwise), we could even track the
evolution of the software in a real world setting, I know I'm not asking
for much ;)
Maybe maintain an OVL for each release, where "OVL" means "Operating
System
Verification List" ;-)
(The list of Operating System Releases where compilation and selftest
succeeded)

That has been a hypothesis for a while and this is an attempt to
challenge it, just in case :)
