Hi Greg -

I'll follow up with them off list. That said, I expect different CI
setups to find different issues - that's the point, after all. It would
be bad if we all ran the exact same things, and found the exact same
things, because then we'd also miss the exact same things. In the macro
sense, there is a lot to test, and I would rather see CI teams go after
areas that are weak, rather than areas that are well covered.

Dan
