It would help, yes. If you do that it could be good to understand and
document which areas we do/don't have test coverage of some kind for as
we could then look at either adding it or dropping that support if it
isn't used.

A change that worried me a lot was the removal of the custom ports as
it means only one client can run on a given system. I think that could
mean that we'd potentially hit issues if two tests ran on the same
build server. That is relatively unlikely but it is the kind of race
we've spent a lot of time removing on the autobuilder to avoid rare
failures. I didn't look further at the other patches being removed,
that one worried me alone.
