Yes, it's still the rule :-) and we have about 10,000 test directories
now, many with a lot of code (it's many millions of lines in all, a
good thing that machines are getting faster). In fact our test suite
seems to take somewhat over an hour to execute on fastest machines,
and that has been fairly constant!
