Being self testable was one of the original goals of Avocado. While this makes *me* quite happy, I believe matters to the whole community of users and developers because it will bring: * Increase of test scope, and thus quality, by being self testable * Wider range of test that will be able to be run directly by Avocado Imagine being able to combine in a single "acceptance job" your own unittests, custom tests written in any language (aka SIMPLE tests) and even virtualization (Avocado-VT) tests. Then benefit from all of the niceties of the Avocado test runner for all of them. So, hang tight, because that's where we're headed to.
