No worries. I'm not going to make this move now, anyway, given that we
are approaching feature freeze (technically, I guess, tests are not a
feature but still...).

I doubt the latter is true (simply because some display related tests
will always involve looking at emacs).

Having said that, I largely agree with you. We'd have something like?

test/lisp
test/src
test/non-ert

Other names which leap to mind:

test/non-automated
test/manual
