The same can be stated by people that don't include tests in packages
... so like I said , probably a matter of flavors + laziness + ... but
IMO that doesn't justify that in certain percent of the production
deployment environments the tests & testing libs deployed in there
will be definitely a decorative artifact >80% of the time , and do not
provide functionality to the end-users , but may be a way to get
support & communicate with the dev-team , something that can be
achieved by splitting the test package as well .
