I'd quote “Practicality beats purity”, but I'm not even sure if it is purity that you have in mind.

Close: I'm interested in keeping camel's noses out of tents.

I have no idea what you mean or are trying to accomplish (unless the camel's nose refers to camelcase).

You could always just fork the unittest module and see if the masses flock to your version. That way at least people will have a choice about whether to accept these new design proclivities.
