nose itself is not a completely independent piece of work but "a discovery-based unittest extension" (although a very big extension!). For that reason, Michael Foord's suggestion to gradually modernize and improve the stdlib unittest sounds reasonable to me: it allows to be more focussed, keep backwards compatibility, and also to decide and implement changes piecewise - avoiding the blank sheet effect where people all push for wild ideas and radically new concepts (tm).
+1 (speaking as somebody who has worked on nose a bit)
