Apples to oranges, and half full versus half empty.

If Al is testing combinations that Andrew doesn't regularly test,
then Al might expect to find problems that Andrew didn't find.

Non-specific complaints that make it all sound too hard are

I find that the defconfig crosstool builds of *-mm more or less always
work for the popular configurations.  That meets my needs just fine.
