I said that (George may have too).

Every test either passes or fails.  We can agree that skipped tests
count as a pass or a fail, but writing stuff into logs or onto the
console is useless -- nobody, especially the build system, will be
reading output to decide if the 'all tests passed' or 'test failures'
outcome was lying.

The 'exotic' configurations are those that are external to the system
under test and associated test infrastructure.

AIUI George is proposing embedding Jetty into the test framework.
