I tend to agree with this.
Actually it would be nice if insane.bbclass would allow a way to
specify which tests you want to do.

And, thinking of it, probably we should rename the class to qa.bbclass
or something like that
(or maybe split the file into a bbclass file per test, that way
distros can just inherit whatever test they feel is important for
them).
