So what you are suggesting is basically that *all* tests become out-of-tree
tests?

Also, some of your rationale is around lava being cross-platform.
Lava-test - which natively assumes ubuntu/debian is certainly not
cross-platform.  Also, how would this affect lava-android-test?

I actually think we need to rethink lava-android-test, lava-test, etc.
This is, perhaps, a good blueprint topic for the next connect.  There have
been some who have even expressed interest in running host-side tests for
things like bootloader testing, prompting previous discussions of yet
another lava-test fork.  This is kinda nuts to keep forking this thing.
I'd really like to go back to a base framework and reconsider things that
we thought were a priority in the original design.

I'm thinking that all of this can be driven from the host side.  A
transport could be established and specified and handed off to lava-test to
drive the install steps, run steps, etc.  It could be serial, ssh, adb,
lava-client, whatever.  Then parsing/bundling would happen host-side.  Test
definitions could possibly even be simplified a bit I think.

Thoughts?
