Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-04-23 15:49:19 UTC
Neat as the feature might seem, after release and during deployment stages is not the place where you run a fuzzer, for various good reasons I might be tempted to go into. Tests using this fuzzer should be disabled, IMHO.

Could you elaborate a bit? Not that I like the tests in this package at all, but I don't want to disable something without understanding what's the problem.
