If all you know is a hammer, everything looks like a hammer indeed ;-P

nice! but rather something else: I see babelbox more as a showcase for events, 
and surely it _can_ be used for testing too, but it's not a test framework, 
and one needs to set it up locally. 

jenkins.d.n on the other hand is ment to run 24/365 and constantly test 
(different sub-areas of) Debian. There are certainly tests outside of its 
scope for a variety of reasons, but I do think d-i testing is done nicely 
there.


cheers,
