Thanks.

You can do that in your own repository, can't you?

The reason I don't want this on the release branch as that this change
potentially affects every system, and fixing tests on the release
branch is low priority anyway (the test suite is something we develop
for our own needs, not for the users).  So would like to avoid an
unnecessary, if small, risk on the release branch, especially since
30.1 has been released already.
