So, we have a new repository[1] to host any real tests. The tests ported 
from autotest will sit there. And we have a trello card[2] tracking the 
autotest-client-tests that should be ported to avocado. Contributors are 
welcome.

For the resource downloader/manager, there's a separate card[3] which is 
in the current sprint backlog.

Thank you all for the feedback.
