I think it would really help to change them as well, see my next comment

Our plan for "default" is to integrate the stubprocess.py wrapper and 
change the Node class to using slots next. Several people have raised 
their concerns about these rather large changes, here a good CI would 
help to protect against regressions.
That's why getting (almost) all buildslaves green, should be our current 
goal...so if you could steer the D tests into this direction, that would 
be awesome.
