I agree it is a bit weird, I am just trying to be creative to comply 
with your request of preserving Plone 3 tests.

Outside being weird, can you explain issues you have ?

I obviously thought of an egg on our own server. Nevertheless, at least 
Vitaliy Podoba from Quintagroup also uses p.a.testing 3.x and I'd like 
him (and others) to be able to also use p.a.testing released eggs.

Further, I think it is a real advantage for the product developers if 
they can migrate their tests to p.a.testing while keeping Plone 3 
compatibility.
