Just for the record, could you sum up the reasons why you/we decided on
this route rather than e.g. adding a test-resources-like facility?

(I'm not saying I disagree, it's just that I didn't remember a decision
had already been made on this point)

Thanks for all your work on this!

cheers

Antoine.
