 Yep, I agree, really intriguing. May open the door to use other external
 tests where possible.

 Imho it would probably be best to "fork" (copy/paste) the tests despite
 that it would require manual updating from time to time. That's not such a
 big problem, most of the external code/libraries in WP are updated
 manually. (Using "fork" here as the tests are not released independently.)

 Adding to the 6.5 milestone for consideration. Also changing the component
 to Build/Test Tools as it seems perhaps more appropriate.
