Please, no more coding standards tests run by default, unless you want to make 
a serious argument that someone who's never built Parrot or Rakudo before 
should really believe that the software may not work correctly if there's a 
trailing space in one file, or if the Subversion commit ID is missing from 
another file.

I fully support coding standards, but we don't have enough volunteer patch 
creator or patch monster time to investigate trace every Smolder failure 
to "Oh, someone added a new file *again*".
