Hi there,

once again I am in agreement with Juraj, this approach may risk to 
complicate things further. As he mentioned, we should allow TestSuite to 
be marked for VFs and they should be able to automate the setup behind 
the scenes. If we wanted to distinguish VF and PF test cases, I think 
that's still doable, maybe group VF and PF ones together for easier 
setup and tear down.

I re-iterate the problem with the commit subject being too long and verbose.

Luca
