What a mess.
Who is going to be testing all these million platforms?
All this does nothing at all to help developers avoid
bugs and when they do trigger debug the issue. Which is
after all why we have testing.
Yes once in a very long while we are going to tweak
something in the tests, and for that rare occurence
it makes sense to periodically rebuild everything,
otherwise code bitrots.
But the test is supposed to run within a VM anyway, let's
have an image and be done with it.
