Yes this is a similar problem to many other areas of the project (e.g.
so far we got only me writing unit tests for new features going into
core even though it was agreed that any new code going into core would
be accompanied by tests, e.g. so far the idea of committing code with
no warnings didnt take etc). However lets not give up yet - sometimes
it takes a while for new ways of working to 'settle in'...
