The 'old system' was me doing the tests manually in the order of make, 
make-testbaseline, make check, make doc.

In that order.

If any of them failed before make doc then I wouldn't bother doing make 
doc. But it is technically feasible for make doc to fail but make check 
to work (and vice versa).

This is why patches that  have not started, not yet completed or have 
failed make doc are filtered out when I run the useful 'countdown' 
script Jonas did for us (me) that I use to generate the countdown email 
and also to see which patches I needed to test.
