Good.

But, of course, testing RAs often means having running versions of the
software.  Apache has to be configured properly for example.  Same for
most applications.  The test might fail because the data for the
application is either missing or incomplete, or bad, or whatever.

But, I appreciate the desire to do this, and applaud the intent.
