I tried integrating the additional external data into the test suite.
Even when downloading only the minimal test data, it amounts to over a gigabyte
of data.
I consider both the effort involved and the resulting repository size to be
excessive, especially given that many integration tests relying on data are
already running, and this would add only 705 more.
current tests === 4775 passed, 1745 skipped, 2 deselected, 7 xfailed in 709.79s
(0:11:49) ====
Of these, 705 were skipped due to "Requires testing dataset".
