This commit message is ridiculously short for such a massive change, even for
test code.

No, please don't.

This needs review.

These tests establish a precedent as to how mseal should behave, this is
something that needs community review, not to just be taken.

There's already been a great deal of confusion/contentious discussion
around mseal() and its implementation.

Pushing in ~800 lines of test code asserting how mseal() should behave
without review isn't helping things.

Also, this is a really unusual way to send a series - why is this a 2/2 in
reply to the 1/2 and no cover letter? Why is this change totally unrelated
to the other patch?

Can you send this as a separate patch, preferably as an RFC so we can
ensure that we all agree on how mseal() should behave?

Sorry to be contentious here, but I think we need to find a more
constructive, collaborative way forward with mseal() and to act with a
little more caution, given the problems that the original series has caused
I'd think this is in the best interests of all.

Thanks for understanding!
