I already did.  We had an extensive discussion on this during the patch
development.  Please read the archives.  I'm not going to waste time
repeating myself.

In brief:

* With the current solution, we can directly produce the JTreg-like
output we want via our subclass and already do.  From what I
understand of the TestNG patch, it would produce XML and then we'd
have to convert it.  Exactly why is that better?

* Switching to TestNG also adds a mass of dependencies which aren't
needed with JUnit, making it harder for people to run the test suite.

Unless you can produce a clear example of why switching to TestNG
for IcedTea-Web is essential and which overrides the need for all
those additional dependencies, I see no reason to drop a solution that
works and has already been extensively reviewed.
