We actually have tests that do the former. I'm not sure if they work at
the moment, I generally don't run them because I'm really loath to
running the tests as root. Though I suppose now that we're using the
privileged attribute one could run them with 'nosetests framework/tests
-a privileged'. I might have a branch that fixes them.
