Thanks. I think some variation of #4 is the right answer. Causing a thousand packages to FTBFS isn't great. I would find it easier to have an environment variable (similar to what you suggested for #3) instead of adding an override, but that's more of an implementation detail. Scott K
Having an opt-in environment variable means all the packages using unittest will eventually need to add it.
What is the end goal? Once we have enough buy-in we flip it around?I agree breaking tons of packages isn't great, but I don't want us to haul crud forever either :(
