Might indeed. Quite often, though, some change in a library affects
another one (especially when we're talking about things like socket
or threading).

Really, people already don't run the test suite enough before
committing/pushing (and ironically these same people often don't check
the buildbots afterwards). I don't think we want to promote more laxism.
