+# currently, mx tests keep the same test user around,

+# test user's mail storage (so that it does not just
+# keep accumulating test emails).
+#
+# We do it this way because:
+#
+# (1) couchdb bloats if you create and destroy test users,
+#     so we keep the test user around.
+#
+# (2) the mx test has access to the bonafide api, but the
+#     bonafide api (webapp) does not have access to destroy
+#     user storage dbs.

+# If any of these conditions change, then this partial
