Matthew trolling through the 1.2.2 tree is his (generous) choice, not
something I would ask him to do.  I agree with you that it's nice.

The end result of that is that nothing is squandered: stuff just gets
one more pass of neatening up and review.

The good end result /isn't/ (exclusively) my choice: it's an emergent
property of the independent choices of at least three people (me, for
not countermanding it, Matthew and James for working on it).  

So: (a) Don't blame me for squandering that testing when it isn't, in
fact, being squandered.  (b) Don't credit me (exclusively) either:
it's just "what the group did".
