I don't understand what is the advantage of considering the testsuite
as part of the compiler but not regaring the essential runtime as so.
But if assignments aren't required as said earlier, then I don't see
how it can be.

OK, but `ships with' /= `is part of'.

Obviously not, but presumably we want test to be done on systems to
which the developers don't have access.

Please find a way to ship unassigned code with clear copyright.  I
have a pile of it which I'd like to resume work on.
