Not really. These tests could be roughly summarised as checking for ugly
code. Specifically, code that appears buggy to both a machine and a
human.

I think that open source programmers know their code is going to be seen
by others, so don't tend to write as much ugly looking code. I don't think
the result says very much about real defects or mysql vs postgres, etc.
