This is my gut reaction. Modifying this piece of testing data is mostly
pointless. It's kind of like asking what the preferred form of
modification of a PGP public key is.
One might want to generate *more* testing data, I guess, but is that worth
keeping the old code around forever? I'm dubious the benefit is worth it.
