+1 in principle that we _should_ do thsi but not sure if this is
making our requirements too hight - we may loose contributors from
this?

Perhaps the requirement can be that these are done before next release
or removal?, not sure how best to ensure this.

^, seems like something that should be built into blender or not at all.

+1, moving scripts back and fourth is no fun. perhaps could hide these
on release builds?

Great! this would help a lot, I can assist with working out what
examples are needed for each formats, since I have setup ctest for
quite a few already, would also like to be involved with the initial
request on BA- could draft be posted on this list or a wiki link? -
there are some requirements Id like to suggest.

-1, internally can see why this might make sense in some cases but
from user POV I think this is just annoying and too fine grained
control.
