Both of these purposes are useful. For my particular use case, it's the same thing, because I build Emacs in an environment kept specially for that purpose and do not have any config on that machine. From my perspective what I really care about, though, is getting something that can do some basic testing of my windows builds so I can (finally) get 27.1 out, and also future releases with some confidence that I haven't screwed up. If we can fulfil both use-cases with one library that's great; but I only have time to worry about one of these at the moment.No, we want to know what the executable and its environment, as provided in the bundle, will yield at run time. I agree that it might catch some irrelevant circumstances, but that's inevitable, at least if such simple tests are being sought.Then I guess we disagree on the purpose. For me, the purpose of such a list of features is to help the user figure out whether a given problem comes from their config or from the Emacs build itself.
