I have no problem with that, assuming that you'll take care that 
what needs to be cleaned up will be cleaned up (A short note 
beforehand would have prevented my shock ;-)

Generally, there once used to be that at least symbolic rule that if 
you commit with tests failing you owe beer ... :-) The only problem 
with that is that if we took that serious, BOSC  would become a 72hr 
booze convention :-)) So just go ahead ...
