It wants to build and run a big guest binary blob -- that to me is the main difference. Users don't much care about any of our tests, whether they're under 'make check' or 'make check-avocado' or the iotests framework. The reason to pick one framework or another is mostly I think whether the properties of the test are such that one framework works better. Avocado is (for better or worse) the one we have for dealing with "actually run a guest machine with a big lump of guest code in it". -- PMM
