As much as I'd like to remove the dependency on ccm I think we'll stick with it for a bit, so +1 on moving under the project umbrella.
In the long term it would be nice to modernize integration test suites to use containers instead of processes for more flexibility and fewer dependencies for local development. Perhaps an incremental way to do that would be to add a docker backend to ccm.
