FWIW, I am +0 on consolidating tests under Lib/test. One of the reasons that I have not seen mentioned is that it is well-known that test package is not part of the official stdlib API and can be changes/restructured in backward incompatible ways. It is not obvious whether the same applies to say lib2to3.tests or ctypes.test.
I am +0 for the same reason as Alexander. The test subpackages should either be moved under the test package, or, for packages with PyPI distributed backports for previous versions, they should be prefixed with a leading underscore to make it clear that they're private implementation details and backwards compatibility guarantees don't apply.
