Hi, I've spend some time in the last days refactoring the current zope.testing TestRunner [1]. I didn't make huge functional changes (it's called refactoring after all) and tried being careful about changes in the output. However, I integrated unit tests and functional tests into normal layers from the test runners perspective. This currently results in unit tests being executed at some time (not necessarily at the beginning) and the layer name to change from 'unit' to 'Running zope.testing.testrunner.layer.UnitTests tests'. I kept close to the existing tests and made the whole approach more formalized pluggable and hopefully easier to understand. If nobody objects I'll merge my changes tomorrow and continue improving on that basis.
