If we adopt automated testing as part of the process and those fuzzy tests are
in the way, it will help identify them and it will give some a motivation to fix
them.

What is bugging me is also the failing test cases in master. In order to make
Jenkins (or similar) useful, you need a baseline where everything is green.
Otherwise all patches that will get tested will fail and it will be difficult
to weed out the actually failing patches from the good ones.

Unless there is actually a way to make a pass/fail/unresolved "diff" that
compares the patch's results to those of the latest master commit's results.
Last time I checked, it didn't seem obvious.
