Rails is completely opensourced under the MIT license as far as I
know. There shouldn't be proprietary tests. Testing against
applications is good, but really, that is what unit testing is used
for in the codebase.

Merge monkeys isn't necesarily the best course of action though. Does
anyone have a better idea? Can we hear the opinion of someone on the
core team? It's just us talking amogst ourselves and wishful thinking
until one of you says something.
