Good reasons NOT to hide them are:

- I don't have i386 or sparc64 platforms but the upstream maintainers frequently want to know if there are issues to fix in those platforms.

- When a real big package takes an hour or so to build, running a 5 min. test to validate it is really worth it.

- When many ports depend on a single library, testing that library saves us from difficult-to-find bugs in all the ports that depend on it.
