Well, not too cool, I'm afraid. `grok.testing` provides only an
extension to provide another ftesting.zcml as fallback. This has to do
with the layer trouble we discussed here. To be honest, I could imagine
that it would be cleaner to drop grok.testing or to only import stuff
from z3c.testsetup in future releases.

I'd like to do that layer definition in test markers as you proposed. I
am only opposing against giving the marker `:Test-Layer: functional` new
semantics that are not compatible with existing projects.

Right now I am a bit busy with GSOC and some burnt out machines where I
have to rescue some tons of data, but it is on my agenda for this week.

Yes, that's what I would prefer too, because (1) the kind of registering
tests will change/be extended soon and (2) it might be more useful to
use z3c.testsetup directly.

Kind regards,
