Am I the only one against that? Tests are tests, not reactos. Why do I need to have another bazillion files in my source tree that I don't need or want? I have ONE checkout of rostests, but a dozen checkouts of reactos. For amd64 work I even disabled build of a lot of stuff that was pointless. Now even more stuff spread thoughout the whole tree? Possibly even built by default? Deleting a full reactos checkout is already slow enough. Also every commit to rostetsts is a possible build breaker and can cause massive rebuilds. Configure time will also increase. I would rather prefer to make it even more modular, instead of mixing stuff even more.

Good, so I'm not the only one, and (surprise! :)) I agree with Timo on this one! Indeed, I have one tests set in the main tree and many working copies which don't need to waste time building same stuff.
I'm all for modularity too.
But as I said in another message, it would be good to have a whole picture, maybe there are some ground-breaking arguments which will make us convinced.
