Yes, they are intended to be compatible, so splitting them up into a
separate package might make sense.

I've thought about this as well, but I'm not sure how to implement
unittest that do anything meaningful. Virtually all bugs are user
interface issues, which are hard to test anyway, and the tree of all
possible interactions is extremely large. The test suite that you are
referring too only tests some timing aspects (it's quite outdated,
actually), it's not really like a pass or fail unittest.

Thanks!
