There's the "continuous improvement" aspect to testing.

If I want to check in a bugfix, that poses the question of why there is 
a bug to be fixed. That suggests the bug was not covered by a test, and 
therefore, we need a test that proves the bug is fixed, that would have 
failed before the bugfix.

Any thoughts on this?

Can test suites get too bloaty?
