Making it part of *every* validate is a big ask because it takes so long to build.
But we already have "sh validate --slow", which runs a lot more tests than --fast. So maybe it could be part of --slow?
And I do think that we should have a nightly build (although perhaps not the continuous-integration build-every-commit stuff) that runs the full testsuite. I don't think that happens right now. But it should.
Indeed that sounds reasonable. I have a cronjob which performs a nightly build and testsuite run anyways. As a start I can make these logs publicly available and ensure that I get notified when the build breaks. In the longer term I hope we can get some integration with Phabricator, although if I'm not mistaken this isn't yet possible. Cheers, - Ben
