I'm of the opinion that making TestCase instances pickleable is useless if that pickling doesn't have well-defined semantics. And I wonder what the semantics of pickling a TestCase could be, and what the use cases are. Regards Antoine.

Splitting groups of tests to run in parallel via multiple processes is a pretty good use case.
