Yeah, I don't see an obvious motivation for doing that either - what problem does it solve? For people running suites it's helpful to have fewer testsuites and test infrastructures to integrate with. The work needed for the dependencies is going to be the same no matter where we put the tests and moving out of the shared infrastructure creates some additional work.
