It seems unlikely we will need these tests unless we decide to
maintain the same patch format as was originally taken. If this is
done, the tests can be revived on Arfrever's Python 3 branch just as
easily as it will be for the person that revives them on trunk.
I say we should remove the tests if we remove the code that goes with them.
