I agree an interactive approach is the way to go. I suspect just by
investigating why -p doesn't work with xdist works is enough to bring some
action points to light.

Personally my next goal is the task to replace the internal warnings system
to use the standard warnings module, which I should be able to tackle soon
as I have some vacation time coming up, but after that I'm happy to help
with the configuration refactoring.

Cheers,
Bruno.
