Well, in a perfect world, this "libification" of the re-usable bits from
Tempest would be nicely advanced *before* the projects all rush in to
implement their own in-tree functional testing mechanisms.
But as we know, we all live in a highly imperfect world ...
So do we expect the tempest-lib to be fleshed out in an emergent fashion,
as the projects dig into implementing their own in-tree func tests?
Or is it seen as an upfront seeding process, that the QA team members with
Tempest domain knowledge are expecting to drive?
Cheers,
Eoghan
