This piece of code] attempts to decide whether to show a warning for the
updated test runner in Django 1.6.
However the checks performed have very little to do with the tests layout.
Let's say I have a project that:
* Uses `contrib.sites` (+2 points)
* Uses the cached template loader by default (+2 points)
* Sets `MANAGERS` and `ADMINS` (+3 points)
Then Django will happily raise a `1_6.W001` warning whether my project has
an issue with tests or not.
It seems to me that this check is too weak, being based on orthogonal
project properties and on settings that are rather likely to be
overridden.
Unfortunately I don't have any idea for a robust alternative, so my only
suggestion would be to remove this check…
