How do we manage to run regression tests for such installations?

I guess the philosphical question is "do we make the default the most 
common case and provide exceptions from it up and down, or do we make it 
the most widely supportable  and hence minimal case?" I can see both 
sides. I do wish we put the handlers somewhere other than the public 
schema, though.
