Sounds like a good way to waste a day. Even more likely, people would
hold off fixing problems till after a beta, because it would reset the
counter; and then commit the changes later, guaranteeing that they'd get
*less* testing.
That's not even mentioning the problem that animals fail on a near-daily
basis for reasons beyond our control.
I'm not in favor of arbitrary rules. The buildfarm is a tool to serve
us, not vice versa.
