I missed that conversation, so to clarify, these would be additional
integration tests (as opposed to functional, unit tests) but kept
outside of tempest, correct? If so, how do these differ from what
third-party CIs already provide? [1] If they do provide something
different (i.e. they're run upstream), could these be kept in-tree
(like neutron's scenario tests [2]) rather than in a different project?
