It would probably be pretty easy to do that in slices. Backport the
Python core, then develop the replacement for a segment of related
tests as a reviewable and backportable chunk. That lets us refactor
the testing APIs as we go, and if there are failures after backport,
at least it's just that one area of the tests and not "the whole
thing".
