I don't have any specific plans. I was going through our test suite and 
cleaning up the remote on-device runs. Those tests were failing because they 
had never been exercised in this configuration, so I took a look at what it 
would take to get them to work, and it was easy enough. I'm no opposed to 
skipping those tests if we're running with a remote platform, if we don't think 
they'll ever be useful in this config.
