Running the tests alone will slow down chain builds significantly, even if
the builds get tagged immediately after the tests pass.

It's quite funny that you're talking about enforcing requirements on
Anaconda AFTER FESCo gave Anaconda developers carte blanche to put a KNOWN
BROKEN Anaconda into pre-F18 Rawhide and leave it there even when it was
known not to get fixed in time for the release, causing release slippage.
Does this mean you admit that FESCo made a mistake? Or that FESCo as a whole
finally admits to having made a mistake? :-)
