+1 from me on "not now", I'm all for the third-party tests, but disposable,
and automatically created/destroyed, guests are IMHO hard prerequisity for this.

Subject: third-party tests *now* ?
There is this discussion in test list [1] where Steve Grubb posted
some security testing scripts. He asked these scripts to be included
in AutoQA and executed regularly. I would like to discuss it with the
whole team because I believe we don't have a clear idea what our
current stance is.
I'd like to propose that we currently don't accept any third-party
tests. It is tempting and I'd love to have more tests inside AutoQA.
But we don't have the manpower to maintain them. Every single extra
test case drains power from implementing the AutoQA infrastructure. We
already have some test cases we (I) don't understand. And it would get
worse.
I believe we need to implement proper AutoQA infrastructure and then
allow people to run and maintain their tests, without our babysitting.
Different approach will consume our resources.
What do you think?
PS: If you believe some of the tests should be included now, I expect
a volunteer to step up and take care of the integration work. Don't be
shy :)
