Personally I've only used pytest-xdist for that (local multiprocessing), and I bet there are other people for whom the same applies. If you add remote test distribution to the mix, you'd win even more users over. I guess the question is how many pytest-xdist users are left at that point, who need the hooks and other advanced features. I'm guessing not that many, but I could be wrong. GitHub says that pytest-xdist is used by 4.7k repos. Searching for "def pytest_xdist" on GitHub shows about 300 results: https://github.com/search?p=1&q=%22def+pytest_xdist%22&type=Code If you scroll through them, you'll see that almost all of them are because people committed their virtualenvs, so it's from the xdist package itself. I found something like 20 projects which actually use an xdist hook, some of them pytest plugins (pytest_mozlog, pytest-sugar). I'm guessing there will be more than 20 projects/people happy about the problems such a rewrite would solve.
