That's been my understanding all the time. I think we currently don't do it because it might be non-obvious to the individual developers at the time of check-in and due to underused tools. We may not require that a single developer run all test suites in all combinations we desire to be compatible, but with the ongoing effort to improve the nightly/automated builds we should get into better shape there. The one issue with delayed testing is that we would have to impose a rule which requires "cool down" time after a checkin before making a release. That's probably not a terrible thing anyway.
