But they don't get exercised by our normal system today, and CD folk
/want them to be exercised/! Our normal system doesn't, for instance,
exercise qpid and 0mq [0mq is tested once a day]. Nor does it exercise
kvm, nor hyper-V. Smokestack checks Xen. We don't check 5000 node
swift cluster scaling and performance.

Can we test more of these? Yes, and we should. Features coming in
disabled has *no* impact on that : to use a feature in the gate just
enable it as part of the relevant test, /once/ it's mature enough to
enable at all. It will be just unit tested before that.
