See it as a light-weight substitute. It can also mean we can retire
large binary substitutes quicker. Saving disk space. I think it is a
brilliant idea ;)

A result of the Hickey insight is that I am going to cut down on my
own tests (the ones I write). Only integration tests are of interest
for deployment. 

For those interested, attached patch disables tests in the build
system. You may need to adapt it a little for a recent checkout, but
you get the idea. Use at your own risk, but in a pinch it can be
handy.
