I don't think anyone does.  But it's better than nothing.

Well Sam had all this done in his tree six-odd months ago - moved all
the compileable stuff out of Documentation/ and into tests/ and we'd

Hopefully that will all come back again sometime.  Until then, we keep
on plugging away with the current setup.
