Thanks. I think some variation of #4 is the right answer. Causing a thousand
packages to FTBFS isn't great. I would find it easier to have an environment

but that's more of an implementation detail.

Having an opt-in environment variable means all the packages using
unittest will eventually need to add it.
What is the end goal? Once we have enough buy-in we flip it around?
I agree breaking tons of packages isn't great, but I don't want us to
haul crud forever either :(
