I have at least two objections :

  - I want to be able to commit a bug fix + associated tests in one 
revision without having to fetch the whole phase3 tree.  It is much 
easier to track and phase3 has many stuff I do not care about.

  - Users fetching from SVN are most probably interested in development 
and will *require* the test suites.  Regular user use the tarballs which 
can be build without the tests suite though.

Can't you just ignore the test suites ?

I do not care about squid support or utf-normalisation. Should they get 
moved out of trunk as well?
