Conformance tests are just as valuable, if not more valuable, than the clients themselves.  The tests encode many past coding mistakes (such as the strange places signed/unsigned 32/64 bit conversions impact outcomes) so that future clients don't repeat past failures.

I completely agree. Conformance tests can serve as a valuable resource for developers to learn from past mistakes, ensuring the creation of more robust and reliable code.
