I think the main problem is that the goals of each module are undocumented.

Anything is allowed in the integration tests, so you'll find me doing
stuff which is not allowed by spec or even advised to users.

The demos should be run during a testsuite run. Relying on some sort of
re-usage in smoke is not enough. Re-using bits in integration/smoke
should not be an issue.
Last but not least, all tests must be documented.
A failing undocumented test is allowed to be deleted on the spot.
