I was wondering, though, whether the tests in the package org.infinispan.config.* should still be making use of the deprecated configuration API? I understand that the point of this migration is to eliminate the use of org.infinispan.config.Configuration within the test-suite, but should just these specific tests still be testing the old method?

Speaking with Tristan on IRC last week, he mentioned that the org.infinispan.config.* package is likely to be totally removed in due course. I think that until that does actually happen, we ought to have tests for that code - deprecated or not.

Yes, we need to keep a sufficiently diverse set of "retro" tests so that 
we don't risk breaking backwards compatibility.
