Do you have an insight into what manual testing is currently required 
before going into master? I'm curious if this testing is strictly 
required. Also I'm wondering if there has been any attempt to automate 
this (from a distance I see the AWT Robot class and naively assume that 
the automated UI testing nut was cracked a long time ago).
