Yes.  The actual reason for having a completely separate testing
infrastructure for block tests is that it predates testing
infrastructure for anything else.

Moving the tests to common infrastructure would be a sizable one-time
effort we can ill afford.  Maintaining multiple testing infrastructures
is an ongoing effort we can also ill afford.

Perhaps moving to common infrastructure is impractical.  I don't know.
What I do know is beware of temporal discounting.
