I had the same reaction. Like you, I jumped in for the fun diversion. It allowed me to flex my Perl muscle a bit which has atrophied, but an out-of-order item here and there is such a minor concern, especially since they don't impact correctness, that I worry that such a CI job would be more hassle than it's worth. Making the feedback loop tighter, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, makes the idea of the automated check a bit more palatable.
