I have a different take on this. I believe moving the plugin out of the
core won't automatically fix its issues. We need to get interested people
involved anyway (like Rusty is offering), and nothing prevents them to
contribute to the core. My main point is that this not a technical issue
IMHO, it is a matter of getting people to contribute, and just taking it
out of the core in a separate plugin won't really help that.

There's also a technical problem involved, because in order to preserve
backward compatibility, pytest will now need to depend on the external
plugin, and I don't think that cross dependency is healthy.

Also the issues don't look too bad to me, and hopefully they can all be
fixed without too much problems if someone would step up.

Fair enough. We use it everyday at work with Jenkins but I just checked and
we are stuck in xUnit 1.1, I guess that's why it has not being bothering
me. :P

Cheers,
Bruno
