as the burden of maintainance was mentioned: from reading the
bug-reports got the impression, a more strict test-regime might reduce that.

If a bug shows up, the first question should be: how it could survive
the tests?
Current commit-policy seems still a bit away from that.

Will not being in favor of formalistic code-coverage technics,
Suggestions for how to improve our test suite without alienating
potential contributors are welcome.



What about saying: no checkin before the tests passed?

Coverage and quality of tests should be an integral part of developing.

WRT to maintainance there are also redundancy, complexity which might be worked on.

Keeping an eye at the number of symbols - too many blow up the language, make in harder for beginners than needed.
