bq. I didn't think that re-factoring the test cases would be an issue for the ML

Small changes are more readily accepted; big changes leave questions about 
whether we may have lost something in the process.
It way well be that your proposal leads to more flexibility and/or better 
coverage. Those targets should be agreed on in advance to avoid lengthy 
discussions: "If it ain't broken, why fix it?"

My view would have been
# Refactor the code
# If necessary (e.g. syntax changes as in this case), minimally refactor of the 
tests

If all works, propose a more thorough refactoring of the tests, and after 
agreement, open a JIRA task and start patching. Doing otherwise is more work 
for everyone. :(

If all works, propose emprovements (probably no just rmovr the "@Test" tag from 
testSomething()
