    I don't believe anybody who relies on one simple test case will
    ever be capable of evaluating a patch without breaking things.

    Test cases can show problems, but fixing a test case is no
    guarantee at all that your VM will behave ok with real world
    workloads. Test cases for the VM can *never* be relied on
    to show that a problem went away.

    I'll do my best, but I can't promise a simple test case
    for every single problem that's plaguing the VM.
