Except that if those tests are only run after manual intervention (i.e., 
after editing something in the checkout or environment), then if a 
hapless contributor can check out z3c.jbot, make changes, run the tests 
(and they all pass), and check in the changes and those changes may have 
broken the parts of the code that only are tested if Five is around.

These sorts of situations are where "works out of the box" testing 
really helps.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how these tests are set up.
