And those who believe in the broken windows theory also would claim this 
slacking now resulted in the regressions in the openSUSE builds, where 5 
modules now have failing unit tests at time of release tagging, when it once 
was 0 thanks to hard work of David F. and others. :(

because seemingly this is just old dead pixels on a web page and not the
