We can probably use FlexUnit in it place I think. (Not that I've tried.)

Currently we don't have any easy way to test the framework. Some form of 
testing would help I think.

I assume the Mustella donation is likely to be several months away at this 
point? If we originally knew it would take this long to get Mustella donated we 
probably would of come up with a way of testing some other way of the framework 
by now. 

Having some way of testing the framework (even if that is an "obsolete" way) is 
essential so that we can test patches etc. The testing framework in the Open 
Source SDK seems to fill that need right at this moment. Sure it's not perfect 
and new tests would probably need to be discarded/converted when Mustella is 
donated but is that such a big issue? In it's current form it can give some 
confidence that changes won't break the framework (especially in conjunction 
with flex unit test). That seems rather useful to me.

I'm certainly open to any other suggestions you have on how to test the 
framework. 

Would it be possible to provide some Mustella documentation or test "samples" 
before the full donation so we know what to expect? Only if it doesn't cause 
any delays to the donation process of course.

Thanks,
Justin
