The downside of course is disk space.  (And on App Engine, the 1000-file limit.)

I don't think a best practice has emerged on where to put the tests,
because some people put them inside the package and others outside.
My inclination would be to put them inside, because a top-level
'tests' is rather presumptive.  ("This is the most important package
in the world, and no other package would have tests.")
