I think option 3 makes the most sense here (pending anyone saying we

This means that we don't need to *require* that tests get converted if you're changing one. It just gets you bonus imaginary internet points.

Requiring mock for new tests seems fine.  We can grant exceptions in
specific cases if necessary.  In general, we should be using mock for
new tests.

I have lost track a bit here.

The above seems like a sane approach. Do we all agree on that now?

Can we add the above text into here:

Yeah, at some point I wanted to cleanup the various testing guides but
until then I like the idea of just putting something simple into the
nova review checklist. Basically use mock for new tests, mox can be
used in exceptional cases. What I've considered exceptional so far
includes changes that will be backported to a stable release where
mock isn't being used and cases where you basically have to bend over
backwards to work new mock tests into an existing test class that has
lots of existing setUp with mox. However, even in the latter case you
can usually use mock after resetting the mox setup via
self.mox.ResetAll() in the new test case(s).

I went ahead and added this to the wiki, so it's now an absolutely inviolate policy. Unless, ya know, someone edits the wiki after me. ;-)

Also, I put it in the common section because this doesn't seem like something we should be doing differently per-project. If anyone objects, feel free to add to the discussion here as to why.

Thanks.
