It's reasonable. For example when target platform is changed and Eclipse 
UI behaves differently than previous version we have to fix it within 
bot ext even when some preferences default value is changed. I don't 
think it means that our tests are not developed correctly.

I'm not saying that it is such a big problem but I think it would make sense to have this in the coretests site if possible.
