Just a FYI - I've a JIRA for making that test more reasonable in terms 
of the time it takes to run https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1690. My 
plan was to let it run against the default timezone in every run (takes 
a few milli seconds) and configure it to run against all timezones in a 
specific maven profile. But like Carlo says, running and maintaining 
that profile separately is a task in itself.

As for moving it to a separate library, it was indeed a separate library 
in the timerservice project that we merged recently into AS codebase. I 
think it probably makes sense to leave this library out of AS code base 
and let it be independent library.
