There's a limit to the amount of testing that can be done outside of
the tree.  Or more accurately, there's a limit to the amount of
testing that happens outside of the tree.  I thought my pci patches
were very close to being perfect, when in fact there were some big
holes that weren't discovered until after I committed it to the tree.
People rarely run things unless 'forced' to do so.

In the past, we've done this sort of import as a process to get things
going, and then deleted the files from CVS repo to not bloat it too
badly.  After things were complete, the files were re-imported on top
of the traditional place.

I'm not sure that's the right thing to do in this case, but I thought
I'd mention some history here.
