Tempest is a stretch goal. Given our long test times, until we get them
down, I don't know if we can even flirt with tempest other than the most
basic smoke tests.

So yes, I like the idea of having our one smoke test be as wide as
possible.

Later on we can add Heat coverage by putting said smoke test into a
Heat template.
