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? :-)
