And if a CI system wants to start running those tests, they most likely need to create a wrapper to handle test specifics, while the enablement via a larger test suite is way easier (as they can already handle it and all that's needed is to enable that specific test subset). Consolidating smaller tests into LTP or kselftests, where applicable, would make the testing process more streamlined and easier to follow for new folks too, as the expected testing could be unified across subsystems and there would be no surprises.
