There is a difference between allowing for a fast make _while_ coding,
and another to push stuff without bothering to run the unit-tests...
Tinderbox are the second line of defense... the first line of defense
is for each dev to make sure that his changes -- at least -- don't
break his own build.
iow shit happens, but that's no reason to encourage it...
