This isn't moving Pharo foward. This doesn't make the system any more flexible, adaptable, modular or malleable. This doesn't make the system any easier to maintain. This doesn't make the system any smaller, faster, scalable or secure. This doesn't make the system any easier to maintain. This doesn't make life easier for anybody developing Pharo or using Pharo. This doesn't improve Pharo in any way.

This only adds code who's sole purpose is to break people's existing code.

If you disagree with such a way of writing tests then the right solution IMHO is to write a SLint rule.
