Yes, it is current norm. I am questioning if we should hang on to it in =
BIPs.

I see testnet as a tool for a certain type of testing. Its existence is =
likely a consequence of Satoshi not writing unit tests and having =
automated integration tests, but creating a shadow chain to try things =
out, mostly manually.

I do not say testnet (as we know) would not be useful for certain tests. =
E.g. as we developed myTREZOR with slush it was useful to have a shared =
chain with worthless tokens and transactions we can both refer to. =
However for our automated tests chains-in-a-box are better as we can =
easily create and exactly re-create wierd situations on-the-fly.

While talking about BIP32 hierarchy use, several people argued to use a =
level of the hierarchy to identify the chain the key is used on. That =
level could identify testnet but as well an alt coin chain.

Above leads me thinking that testnet is far less important than to be =
addressed in every future BIP.
