 Hi Denis,

 We discussed this again at the BR Developer meeting in Dublin, and concluded
that we're going to proceed with the simpler and less-invasive unit-test-based
approach. It is in fact already running on Jenkins at [1]. Therefore, I've
marked most of the series as Rejected in patchwork.

 Regarding python-robotframework, as mentioned before, it is still relevant.
However, neither of the two versions you submitted are suitable at the moment:
- the version of [2] is still using 2.9rc1;
- the version of [3] add a host- version which we don't need.
Note that the host-version was not even needed in this series: for something
like this, we expect it to be installed on the system rather than building it.
So these patches are both marked as Changes Requested.

 Regards,
 Arnout
