This is me and my email you are quoting; these aren't Junio's words. I'm afraid my confusion may have snowballed for others here. Sorry about that. I simply misunderstood at the time -- I thought there were scalar-only tests (rather than scalar+gvfs tests) that were not being considered for upstreaming. As I mentioned before[1], I'm sorry for the confusion and seemingly opening an unrelated can of worms. I agree that we don't need gvfs tests, or tests that combine gvfs with other things like scalar, or c# tests.
