I can buy the "overkill", but not unsuitable. Even for new features, the
tests should fail before and pass after. Otherwise, the tests are not
testing the feature. Actually, this is a strong principle in test-driven
development: don't write code unless you have a failing test.

But I was just thinking out loudly, certainly not requesting a change.
