Hi Pietro,

I'm not sure. The API was not tested much especially the one for running
tests. Not that there would be some (serious) bugs. but I might
significantly improve the API/CLI usability after some feedback from other
people using it. The execution interface or its implementation might be
also changed with addition of `--exec` flag (#2579).

Perhaps the potential changes could be simply backported when testing
framework is in 7.0 branch, but still it is some additional work and I'm
not sure if it is worth since testing framework is still not used much (see
e.g. #2687 but also older large test failures or number of tested modules
-- < 7 %).
