Has any progress been made on making this new framework interoperate with 
the unittest framework (as per my comments when the new framework was first 
proposed)?

In particular, it would be good if tests could be discovered using existing 
tools that are unittest-based, for this to integrate cleanly with the rest 
of our platform (e.g. if any tests based on this framework are included in 
standalone projects like plugin modules), so that individual projects are 
fully testable with "setup.py test".

Perhaps this use case is out of scope for the intended framework, and if so 
that's fine, but it should be documented as out of scope in that case.
