Thanks.  I think some variation of #4 is the right answer.  Causing a thousand

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 :(
