Agreed.

Regardless of whether it's established practice, I don't believe that it 
contributes much to boost quality.

Actually, I've seen more than one shop where the build doesn't work, yet 
they run it every night regardless.  Where the tests don't pass, and 
they ship anyway.  So the fact that it's established practice by itself 
is not convincing to me.
