By "tested", do you mean attempted to build, or actually ran tests? I'm
going to assume the former, as the latter is near-impossible for the
layman.

It's a bit disheartening to see so few attempts to run integrity tests,
but I guess it's an artifact of it being underdocumented and hard to run
tests and get output from them without being a proper regression test
runner.
