That's an option, but so far experience has demonstrated that it's better to 
keep this list close to the test target
list, and the test target list is more associated with the repository or forest 
than anything else.
And some of these repositories might want to shorten their default build lists 
and expand their testing, like
langtools, which is pure java. By having the list explicit, the teams can play 
with it more.
