Oh, I generally agree. But I consider packager's use of Python as
"optional, subject to their choice, and Python availability". I agree
that they "should" be running the test suite for their platform, but I
not believe the project should *mandate* that packagers do that, or
that we require they do XYZ which needs Python.

So consider it the difference between a MUST and a SHOULD. :-)
