From a "test it for proper maintenance" point of view this makes some sense; however, from a "test it for proper usability" point of view this might become a bit questionable. Some users like to run these tests in order to know their browser will work on their system; perhaps even going further than that, it helps more users report bugs upstream. You could ask the users to file the tests related bugs upstream. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
