Your statement that we test less than 1/2 of the code is false.  There are
some dashboard machines (e.g. hythloth) cover much more.  I know that
I'm being picky with semantics here, but the truth is, we have so many
failing tests that the dashboard isn't even able to produce accurate code
quality metrics.
