If someone would like to start writing Junit tests, there's nothing to stop them from doing so. If they contributed them to the codebase, I doubt they would be refused. Since we'd need to vote on such a contribution anyway, as it involves a change to current policy regarding checkins, couldn't we just deal with this when the new test code is contributed? andrew
