Ok, thanks for the info Dan. So it sounds like as a community we should focus on adding tests to Tempest, and a subset of these tests may be leveraged by the smoketest tool to tests a wider set of platform/hardware configurations. This wider coverage will certainly be helpful in the case of quantum, where many such plugins exist.
