I got exactly the same question asked yesterday (concerning Mac installer). I don't know anyone who would be volunteering to do torture tests, except that Sanjoy did some basic work by collecing test files, but they do not run automatically, and a more extensive system is needed. Te main idea about the minimals was to reduce web traffic by providing a quick way to update o the latest version o everything. In the case of a proper package one till needs to download 100 MB each time and has no option to choose what to install. But that's fine by me if people want to use the files that way. However, torture tests are waiting for volunteers. It's not a problem to provide stable snapshot, but to decide which one is stable.
