Hey Barry,

First, let me thank you for taking the energy to express many
interesting points in that discussion.

Hi Gustavo!

We're actually adopting a PQM-based approach *precisely* because we
have to maintain a code base in multiple versions of the same platform,
and thus can't be sure that the tests will continue working just by running
the suite in our own environments. In this case PQM will help precisely because
running tests locally "doesn't scale", which is why I'm a bit surprised by the straightforward agreement on the point above.

That's an important, different dimension that hasn't come up before.
Thanks for pointing that out.
