Is it time to start regression testing yet?

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

Just one suggestion, as we all pile on Florian's design:  Can we  
please try to do our best to resist the temptation of allowing the  
perfect to become the enemy of the "good enough?"   I too see a lot of  
issues with Florian's portmill system, but I also know that things  
tend to evolve rather rapidly once they're pressed into actual  
service, so I'm OK with it not being the Be All and End All of build/ 
test frameworks.  Given the amount of time which has passed without  
having anything at all (6 years?), I think we should be willing to  
start pretty much anywhere, just so long as we start!
