As we start picking up customers, Mekinok is definitely going to need
to spend effort on this.

We'd probably want to create the cell as part of the test. This is
because we want a completely reproducable environment and because cell
creation is something we care about a lot. Also, it will probably
need to involve multiple clients to test and make sure that cross-host
locking and cache consistency guarantees are maintained.
I have some general ideas on framework I'll try and write up over the
next few days. I agree that starting small with tests that assume an
existing cell would probably be wise, but we want to design the
framework to meet more complex needs long-term.
