Because there are plenty of "extra" tests we could conceivably have which might represent completely different sets of tests we want to run. Even if *you* don't have a need for it, others might. Imagine, for example: xt/author xt/smoke The latter of which is designed to run smoke tests against a wide variety of Perl versions. That should not be in the t/ directory, but it's also clearly not an author test. Regardless of the examples we come up with, I'm terribly leery of starting with the assumption that "we will only ever need one extra test directory and therefore should not plan for more". Enforcing arbitrary limits at the beginning is not a good idea. > > As for the 'xt' name: > > Nobody is intuitively know what "xt" means Because 't/' is self-explanatory?
