This second sentence feels a bit too strong for me. Sure, a lot of the conformance suite is about esoteric topics that don't affect users much, and there are many important aspects of a practical type checker that aren't reflected in the conformance suite, but I do believe that spec conformant behavior should be user-friendly behavior.
