I agree jgrowl is better but not for a scaffold app. It requires downloading 3 more files and the advantages are minimal.
About the tests. They are not heavy in the bandwidth sense. They just clutter the design page and new users get lost. There is aleady too much stuff in the design page. I am even considering hiding appadmin.py and appadmin.html. Moreover those tests are more example than tests and I can be shipped separately.
