Speaking as someone on the TC but not "the TC" as well as someone
active in a few projects: +1. As shown elsewhere in the thread the
impact on node consumption and queue lengths shouldn't be a huge
amount and the benefits are high.

To me the benefits are simply that we find bugs sooner. It's bizarre
to me that we even need to think about this. The sooner we find
them, the less they impact people who want to use our code. Will it
cause breakage and extra work us now? Possibly, but it's like making
an early payment on the mortgage: We are saving cost later.
