pylint and astroid now don't depend on logilab-common anymore, i.e.
with the next release, you'll be able to install pylint without
getting the pytest binary.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that ;)

The pytest binary was added to logilab-common in 2006, while py.test
exists *at least* since 2004 (as a part of PyPy originally, then as a
part of pylib, then standalone):

Unfortunately I can't trace back where all this code is coming from,
but it's definitely older than logilab's one :P
