Yes, of course, you're right. But before NY I ran test suite and saw 
more than 300 failed tests. Recently Aaron did some work in this area, 
so may be count is much smaller right now. I just want to say that when 
you have sooo many failed tests it's very hard to say is new patch makes 
situation better or worse, because you need compare these failed tests 
with and without patch and analyze where is difference. It's not funny.
Really.
