I don't think test
suites fall within the category of "maintenance." Like large artwork files,
these seem to be "development" tools that shouldn't be downloaded with

phase3 checkout.
On the second part, I disagree with you since development tools must be
part of MediaWiki core for development purposes. I do agree though that
the tests themselves should probably live in their own repository such
as "phase3/tests". That is where Avar put them originally (or it was
"phase3/t" which is "prove" default path).
This way you can easily ignore the "tests" directory but keep the actual
test framework in "maintenance/tests/".
