Ok guys, a ton of tests and fixes later, the branch was merged and now
we have a clean autotest namespace. Client, server, unittests,
scheduler, they all are working properly from the scope of my test.

3rd party folks, please prepare modifications to your code, autotest
0.14.0 will be released with it. I guess I have some few packaging
things to work on before I tag 0.14.0-rc0 in master, and we will work
from there towards 0.14.0.

Cheers,

Lucas
