I guess this is a matter of preference. I personally find it very convenient to simply move additional test-suites as a subdirectory of my test-suite checkout. So I can already express the list of tests I want to run simply by moving directories in and out of the test-suite checkout.

This is also similar to how the tools/ and projects/ directories in llvm work where you can drop stuff like compiler-rt, libcxx, clang etc. as you need them.

My question was more about whether we should restrict the wildcard matching to a well-known subdirectory (say 'projects' to stay in line with llvm or maybe the existing 'External' directory). Please also note that this will of course only pickup 1 level of directories and not recurse into subdirectories so it should not be a performance problem.
