That is why I said the port will remain important. I agree that the tests don't belong with the base system. Being able to use them implies a set of special tools that haven't even been prepared for public consumption yet. What's really important to me is that the EGCS compilers built in ports remain as true to the system installation as possible while also striving to build the distribution the 'EGCS' way, preserving their development support when possible.
