We still intentionally put test cases into a separate gate.  This is
to allow for independent regression tests, and for tests that take a
long time to run or (in some cases, obviously not this one) require
special hardware or configuration.

The test code doesn't belong in ON, so, yes, you are going to get
opposition to a plan that includes integrating it.  It'd be far better
if the folks helping you with the integration could segregate the test
code out and put it back to one of the test gates instead.

If it's not neatly separable, then you might get some to grudgingly go
along, but only if it's very fast and perfectly reliable.  I doubt
that Danek or anyone else on the gate team would tolerate something
that causes builds to fail intermittently.
