I have a memory of extreme pain in Hardy for Gnome SRUs. Ultimately all
the regressions got fixed, but it took several months. More recently,
it seems like Gnome SRUs have hugely improved, but I have to say I remain
somewhat nervous about them.

What sort of test suites are being run when doing Gnome SRUs?
