What exactly is scary? The only unaddressed concern from the webkit-dev thread is whether we really should make it easier to add things to layoutTestController or find a better way of doing testing.

I certainly share that concern, but unless there is a concrete suggestion for doing a better way of testing, I think we should move forward with this. It seems a considerable improvement over the current world where, when trying to test something new, you have a choice between adding many layers of plumbing across many ports or adding a manual test. 

This doesn't block coming up with better ways of testing. It just makes the current way less painful.
