I won't disagree at all.  Each merge has tended to bring in new tests
which fail for one reason or another.  We tend to hit a critical mass of
failures, then someone (Diego, myself, now you) goes through and nails as
many as they can and the cycle starts again.

It's one of the reasons why I think it's critical that we be focused on the
goal of getting this work into the mainline sources. :-)
