We'll have node reusage in dtests soon once CI is green again and 16951 merges (in review). #justfyi

I think that's fair. I'll see if I can't whip up an example of how it'd mutate a single test and the API boundary between that and ccm. Should be a quick but helpful exercise in seeing how it'd materially change things if at all.

My experience was working with manipulating large quantities of data from JIRA that came back in a huge variety of types; was a real pain in python. Probably less surface area in any given test in the dtest suite interacting with ccm.

    I meant concretely from actually working on the tests, not a
