This is a big change for backporting to an old release as 11. Tier1 tests are the bare minimum, they run in the Pre-submit tests anyways.  I hope that you confiming the patch is working means you have run some substatntial tests with it in your production or pre-production landscapes. 
I ran the test through our testing, which means all tier1-4 and JCK tests on 7 platforms plus a row of benchmarks and SAP applications.
Approving.
