I think that is a good idea since the test results are pretty flaky as they are now making comparing test runs pretty hard. I known good set of tests that always PASS and that you don't have to second guess would be really helpful. Only issue I can see is that if the stress tests are optional people will never run them, but I guess that is what the autobuilder/tester is for.
