From the looks of the tests affected, they all should support contexts. I
would be more concerned if the basic busyness checking tests grew a new
dependency.

Operating on the default context, should be fine though. May require an
operation to reset in case a previous subtest failed, which is a
downside.

I think resist/delay as much as possible. In 3 months time we can sweep
away any evidence of the old ways, and only the explicit legacy ABI
tests need concern themselves with BSD | BSD2 ;)
