I totally get this, but I don't see that the incubator is supporting
the model you are suggesting, that's all I'm saying. My goal was to
get MRUNIT rolling with limited muss/fuss, if you want to approach the
incubator and suggest this model, and everyone in mrunit is fine with
moving to that model (I am) then I don't see why we wouldn't move to
that and deprecate having our own pages.
