Isn't this whole thread about a social problem? You are complaining that the test suite is too slow, which *is* a social problem (the buildbots (mostly) don't care about runtime, for example). If we start promoting a "quicker" way of running tests, then nobody will use the normal way. I'm sorry, I'm -1 on that. There are regressions often enough on the buildbots. If you insist on that, I suggest that you also vow to take care of the buildbot fleet and individually track regressions and notify people who are responsible for them.
