Their lack of modularity costs us flexibility in adopting and/ or promoting TDD development.
Mike, I'm very curious about this part. Do you have a link offhand to a more detailed explanation of the issues here?
Note that none of us think Mochitest is perfect by any means. And I think we all agree (or at least I agree!) that both the behavior an the names of the old xpcshell test functions is terrible.
I do think we should be very intentional about adopting something new, both in terms of semantics (mochitest is() using == is a mistake we should not duplicate in the short-name comparison function in the new setup) and in terms of naming. That doesn't mean we shouldn't adopt it, but we should aim to fix the known problems when we do so, because it's unlikely that we'll get a second chance to change around the names to address them.
