We could, but not all test data need to move to "sample-data" directory. Many 
tests data are very specific to a particular module, and sharing them is more 
tedious than it need to be. What need to be share in my opinion are data in a 
"standard" format, like:

   * Raster data (geotiff, arcgrid, etc.)
   * Shapefiles and other vector data.

What doesn't need to be shared are data in a format which is specific to a 
particular module or implementation, like:

   * Test scripts in the referencing module.
   * Serialized data (as of java.io.Serializable)

So it is a kind of case-by-case issue, but developpers should at least check 
for 
duplication before to commit a new file. If the data is a shapefile or a 
geotiff 
for instance, lets put them in "sample-data".

Sould like an interresting alternative...
