That is a very interesting argument.
Who sits the baby-sitter, e.g. who makes sure that those testsuite are
enough to make sure that a compiler that passes it is bug-free?
Actually, by your argument, EDG should stop releasing any version of
their front-ends -- yet they still release bug-fixes, even thiugh they
have passed known  testsuites.
