Unfortunately, this is not the case. A number of issues have arisen in the past.

not sure, don't think so

My main concern is that occasionally interfaces are changed, without letting us know, 
so we have to spot the problems after they occur, and with the large number of 
modules, this is painful; many errors risk to go unnoticed for long, especially among 
less popular packages.

All the best, and thanks.
