I think it is only that the other patch is actually fixing something,
whereas this is cleanup. So the cost/benefit equation is different. I
agree neither is high-risk and a test cleanup is generally OK for maint
(the other is a serious-ish regression IMHO).

I think that's an improvement, too. Even if we add further tests, they
don't have to follow the same format. I would give the function a better
name than "do_test" though. :P
