+1 talk here assume that we can know what we build compile or not,
but with template it doesn't make sense unless the unittest 
instantiate.

And since we can't add unittest magically where there is none, 
it's not a maintenance problem but a visibility problem.

Packages that are unmaintained (registry could detect that) 
should be harder to find.
