I'd always thought our principle was that every change should go to
trunk unless there's a specific reason why it must go on a branch.

For example, that means that if you're working on a feature branch and
you encounter some buglet that interferes with the feature work, you
still fix the buglet on trunk and port the change over to the branch
(because the buglet is not "about" the branch work, it just interferes
with the branch work).

So unless there's a reason why these tests would cause trouble on trunk,
let's put 'em on trunk, the natural home of all changes :-).
