Greg is not impartial, so I have to through his results out. As far as the rest I trust their feedback, but in order to make it a good test. I have to get the results myself and validate them. If this is a method we are going to use to test the purity of a build, we need to have people that just check that instead of saying it passes. Publish the results good or bad. Give feedback to those who are designed this *LFS style systems.
