Some users do run checkasm.

More broadly, the point is not limited to people manually running checkasm 
itself. Users, developers, distributors, and CI all interact with FFmpeg's test 
and debugging infrastructure, and users do report regressions and test failures.

When a regression cannot be reproduced locally, we also regularly ask reporters 
to bisect. Submodules make reproducing historical states and bisection 
workflows more cumbersome, so they do create extra friction in practice.

That side comment was unnecessary.

Please keep the discussion focused on the technical points.

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.
