Gentoo has been slow to move to more automated testing methods, and this is a huge leap forward in this regard. Hopefully, moving forward there will be less human effort required to extend and maintain the tree of packages on which we depend, and together with QA, huge strides forward are being made to achieve this end. It is quite useful to have a consistent means to test packages, and to this end, hopefully we can eliminate some of the randomness that having a very flexible build system creates!
