Yep, that requires a checked-in binary file, which in the case of that test is 
in a standard stable format, which this data is not, so we'd also need tools to 
regenerate it. And we don't have APIs to generate the file without compression 
if zlib is available (because we never want to do that), so we'd need to add 
those or require anyone touching the file format to build a no-zlib tree to 
regenerate the file.
None of this is impossible, but this is pretty unlikely to catch a bug, and 
it's very unlikely to be a high-impact bug..
