Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but simple shouldn't be locked into some sort of 'testing' agreement with enwp unless there is some sort of consensus on both sites, and I have little doubt that consensus will not exist for such an action.
As I say, perhaps I am misunderstanding.
You're misunderstanding. I was suggesting making a copy, thus "import", of simple instead of a partial copy of English. For testing a copy of some wiki is required. I'm personally quite happy testing with a language I can't understand (avoids getting distracted reading the text!) but many find it desirable to test with a language they can. Enwp itself is too big for a reasonable test import, but simple is right-sized.
Seems my concern was moot in any case... Every time I loaded it I've only seen trashed pages like this: http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee
But I guess this is just a result of the import being incomplete.
