I generally prefer stuff that is based on established standards. At the
moment I don't see what nose buys us. I thought with nose you have to
write plain old unit tests, but with the harness we don't. We basically
provide test fixtures in the form of json.

Also it is another dependency. I don't know if we can expect our table
developers to have nose installed.

Thanks
