Wrong!! :)
I don't say "we don't have the resource", I say "I would love
that!". And I would love to spend time on setting a network of
various (real and virtual) hardware and OS with automated tools to
torture all the code submitted to IPOL. It would really be more
interesting than coding web interfaces (or writing a boring
thesis...).

I already try to torture my code with 10 compilers and I am waiting
for the release of Debian/Multiarch[1] to do it on 10 emulated
architectures. I have dusty SPARC and HPPA machines hidden under a
desk. If you want to do serious software quality testing, count on
me.
