I have mixed feelings about that. Personally I agree completely, but I fear 
that this will end in less unit tests than in more. If you have unit tests and 
they have been broken for a long time you get punished, if you don't have 
tests, your code is accepted without any problems. So it kind of encourages to 
have bad code (no unit tests).

Before we go this way I would suggest to first get a cleanup on the unit tests 
and enable nag mails when a test starts to break [1]. If we see that this 
works well, we could go the full thing in 4.12. Also I would like to see some 
way to encourage more unit testing.

Cheers
Martin

[1] I would love to get those, as I cannot use the build.kde.org build status 
for kde-workspace due to three tests not in KWin failing all the time
