Thanks!

Ah, that makes sense.  I expect we don't do anything more complex than
run the whole suite.  There have been discussions in the past about
alternate workloads, but clearly nothing came of that.  I suppose a
comprehensive suite of high-level, (relatively) long-running
benchmarks that cover the community's primary Python workloads would
be ideal, but we don't have anything like that (yet).  I suppose this
is something we could discuss elsewhere. :)
