Yes, but it is a valuable percent nevertheless.

As I understand it, the coverage is about the tested command logic. A lot 
this logic is dedicated to check permissions (can you add an operator to 
this database? ...) and to verify required conditions (is the function 
proposed for operator has the right signature? does the operator overwrite 
an existing one? ...).
