If the plan is to move them to mainline anyway, I'm perfectly
happy to have him do the work on mainline. This is not
a broadly used test that everyone depends on.
People can continue using the old versions if they really have to.

Nice!

I'll remind that "open source" is about collaboration.
If Sagi gets a new test working on one architecture, he has a good
basis to ask for help from the list with running on other architectures.

If you think that's necessary....I don't mind one test
that deals with multiple variants of latency testing.
