The #1 reason for writing code a certain way is following existing examples. As long as "qtest without qgraph" is prevalent in existing tests, it'll remain prevalent in new tests. I'm afraid we'll need a conversion effort. > What are the next steps and do you have plans for making qgraph more > integral to libqos? Good questions.
