Personal view, not speaking for the project. Yes and yes. I know we didn't notice it when Gump stopped but I thought we'd just had a good run of not breaking it. We do get useful reports from Gump. It has identified, and continues to identify, areas where we need to make the tests more robust. (Generally Gump finds errors in tests more often than it finds errors in code but those are still useful.) Another area that is particularly useful is the tests against the latest OpenSSL build. Gump enables is to spot within 24 hours when OpenSSL has added a new cipher, removed an old cipher, etc so we can update our integration.
