Unfortunately, my makefile fu is too limited to provide a reliable
review of the patch (I'm mostly just surprised it took so few changes to
achieve). However, I can still wholeheartedly applaud this endeavour and
its present outcome.

As you say tuning the test group can be done over time as a follow-up.
The important thing is to quickly place devs in a position to easily
check that fixes have no unintended side-effects. Very nice!

regards,
