On the avocado review I mentioned that I didn't think we should
be rebasing avocado during freeze. By the same token, I'm not
convinced we should be introducing a new test framework during
the freeze period.  This is alot simpler than avocado, but at
the same time this small subset of Thomas' patches isn't really
fixing any problem on its own, as avocado still exists in
parallel.


With regards,
Daniel
