No blame given! :) Somehow I missed that email (must have been b/c I'm too busy causing trouble :) but just found it. I will say for the record, having two different unit testing tools still seems a little silly to me (eg have to build cf(c)unit-ant for each) if the goal is to get people using them. While multiple frameworks is good (each has strengths/weaknesses for different tasks), the task for a testing tool is the same -- test code. And while there are various xUnits for things like HTTP, there's pretty much just JUnit for java. I'd vote for cherrypicking the best ideas of both and going from there.
