It may bear repeating that use of a test runner package is NOT required by
CRAN Repo Policy, Writing R Extensions, or any other official text.

If any one of these candidate packages is too complicated, or confusing, or
lengthens your test setup, or [your reason here] then consider not using it.

Choice is a good thing, and we have a free option of using one or none of the
different available testing packages.
