That's a reasonable thing to say.  However, our DRI testing in piglit is rather
pitiful across the board IMHO.  Part of the reason why you had to fix 6
different bugs in order to turn on DRI3 is that we've been lazy about testing
when working on the DRI code.  Window system stuff is annoyingly full of
edge-cases and the piglit tests we have tend to only touch-test things.  This
is only one of the 3 or 4 DRI bugs we've shipped in the last few months that
piglit has been perfectly happy with and then it messes up users badly.

While I would love to give someone the general task of improving piglit testing
of DRI, a good place to start is to write tests for known bugs.  If we have a
really nasty threading bug, let's make a test that hammers on threading.

Ok, I've said my piece.  Maybe I'm being unreasonable but it sounds good in my
head. :-)
