Yeah, certain tests need some TLC to make them more predictable and
less prone to throw a failure because of some touch race condition or
something on the machine was not available to make the test work.

As I have stated on my blog, once I am done with importlib and the
stdlib reorg I plan on working on dev docs and then attack the whole
structure of the unit tests.

But who knows when that will happen.  =)
