I'm a little worried about making stuff undocumented that every core developer needs to use -- everyone writing tests needs to continue to use testsupport (now test.support?). I imagine people writing unit test suites for 3rd party libraries might want to use its services too.

I think undocumented is a little unspecific here. What I mean is "reserved for core Python tests and no promise is made to retain compatibility." Of course, we would keep docs for them (perhaps in Lib/test/README), so new core developers could write their tests.
