In general the sort of testing that it's good for is "this needs more
exposure" sorts of things - things that look good locally but where
there's a wide variety of users or affected systems that might be
affected and where it's hard to judge the impact.

Oh, bah - something turned off RUST in allmodconfig again so we lost
coverage in -next, sorry about that.  I'll need to work something out to
make sure I notice that happening and can do something about it.  It's
kind of worrying that this keeps happening TBH, otherwise rust conflicts
are likely to result in broken builds.  The dependencies feel really
fraigle here.

Had the rust builds been enabled for allmodconfig as I had expected the
tree would have been kept out of -next as a result of this.
