+1 - FWIW I don't think the current process where we require tempest
cores to review our project test cases is working well, so allowing
projects to own their own tests will be a major improvement.

In terms of how this works in practice, will the in-tree tests still be run
via tempest, e.g will there be a (relatively) stable tempest api we can
develop the tests against, as Angus has already mentioned?
