Some bugs will only surface with certain combinations of features...and 
if a feature is changed to behave differently(the new noise function), 
is partly random(blurred reflection, radiosity, etc), or affects the 
whole output to the exclusion of other features(some post_process 
filters), you will run into trouble. And when something does go wrong, 
having everything in one scene file will make it harder to find.
A better idea would be a set of files testing the features in the most 
common situations, this would be more useful and easier to maintain, but 
it would still be a lot of work to create these files.
