My initial reaction is that the zope.testrunner is enormously 
featureful, we're using quite a few of those features, and it's being 
actively maintained. I think going to nose would be a lot of work 
without compelling new features, and I see little gain in that.

I would like setup.py test to be supported somehow if possible. I 
believe some people have done experiments with this. Tres, do you have 
any experience with this?
