I encounter two problems with that strategy:<br>
<br>
* figuring out which of the 200+ package names to write; and<br>
<br>
* many things fail immediately and most things are skipped, because<br>
`raco test` doesn't use the test customizations in "props" the way<br>
DrDr does.<br>
<br>
I would like to say `raco test -p main-distribution` to get essentially<br>
DrDr's results on my machine.<br>

Yes, it would be great if you work on that. I think the way forward is<br>
to split out "props" information into "info.rkt" files, but I haven't<br>
had time to pursue that direction myself.<br>
