Personally I have no problem renaming classes in the testing artifact.
IMO there is a difference between changing something in the testing classes
compared to changing runtime package/class names.

I don't think there is much use of this artifact publicly. For us it
is important to share a common testing setup between modules. For example,
EM is a consumer of the testing artifact.

Should there be a testing artifact with base classes for writing tests -  
yes.
Does this testing artifact needs to be published into the maven repo - not  
sure.
