This is just a tool which can be run locally to download the tests and 
do something with them. It's not enhancing the official tests, though 
it'd be possible.
But sure, it could do whatever we like, e.g. keep the last state and 
report only new failures, send emails, whatever.

I guess having this proof of concept, we could show it to others, get 
the feedback and maybe support.
