A reason would also be that it makes bugfixing in a number of cases a 
lot easier! If people are so involved/concerned that they manage to file 
a bug report they would also be willing to run unit tests if we suspect 
a problem in part of the core in their installation.

It wouldn't be the first time that a lot of testing and debugging 
reveals a problem on a certain platform, particular version of server 
software, specific configuration, etc.

+1 for including the tests!
