Hmm, but some of these tests are establishing important invariants. I wouldn't
want somebody fundamentally changing what the guard region tests do for
instance.

On the one hand the churn (especially now) is annoying, on the other hand I can
just ignore mail I don't care about.

So I vote for tests staying with components.
