FDB co-founder here.

Aphyr / Jepsen never tested FDB because, as he tweeted "their testing appears to be waaaay more rigorous than mine." We actually put a screen cap of that tweet in the blog post linked here.

Just a heads-up for anyone diving deeper into this thread - I dug into the original tweet and managed to track down the parent tweet right here: [1]. Moreover, there's a snapshot on archive.org [2] capturing the reply along with the quote in question. Interestingly, there's also a snapshot from foundationdb.com [3] that discusses the outcomes of running Jepsen tests on FDB. Worth checking out for those interested in the technical nitty-gritty.
