Maintenance is much more practical when you use the versions upstream tests in their CI and not whatever mishmash of ancient/silently incompatible deps that each distro separately decides to combine together.

Upstream CI isn't magic that only they have. Distributions run the same tests upstreams do if they are made available.

If tests falsely pass, then that's a quality problem in the upstream tests.
