I filed bug 26259, "MediaWiki bloated with test

RobLa asked me to send an e-mail to wikitech-l about this bug. It's my view
that checking out MediaWiki from SVN should not include files that most
users do not need or want. These test suites seem to fit perfectly within
this category.
I have at least two objections :
- I want to be able to commit a bug fix + associated tests in one
revision without having to fetch the whole phase3 tree. It is much
easier to track and phase3 has many stuff I do not care about.
- Users fetching from SVN are most probably interested in development
and will *require* the test suites. Regular user use the tarballs which
can be build without the tests suite though.
Can't you just ignore the test suites ?
I do not care about squid support or utf-normalisation. Should they get
moved out of trunk as well?
