While the test suite covers a wide range of possible problems, it is not
a panacea. Do not hesitate to perform any other tests necessary to convince
yourself that the changes you are about to push actually work as expected.
Make sure all your changes have been checked before pushing them, the
testsuite only checks against regressions and that only to some extend. It does
obviously not check newly added features/code to be working unless you have
added a test for that (which is recommanded btw).
Also note that every single commit should pass the test suite, not just
the result of a series of patches.
