Yes that makes sense. I do hope most testsuites are normally zero
fail, so any failure would indicate an issue. But we would like to get
as much test results as possible in the CI builders. And make -k check
still makes the command fail if any make target fails. It just doesn't
bail out early.

Thanks,
