I’m in favor of it. If you check the PR it’s a few isolated script changes and all test-only changes. Should have low impact on release but much better integration test coverage.

These new tests appear stable. 3) Spark 2.4 is still in RC, with outstanding correctness issues. The argument 'against' that I'm aware of would be the relatively large size of the PR. I believe this is considered above, but am soliciting community feedback before committing. Cheers, Erik
