I don't remember the details, but I think it's basically a  
compatibility mode that rspec has for test/unit.  It wasn't done  
before because I wanted a clean line between the old, crappier tests  
and the new, thoeretically better tests, with the goal being to  
actually migrate them all by making them good tests.

No, but I don't think it's many.  But then, I would say that.
