Runexported.py can specify a manifest file to run a list of test cases.
Talking with the owner of this bug, seems like it can be finished by 2.2 M3.
Jing, can you post here the mail archive list where the review was sent?

changes never accepted FWIC. is this something we still want to do?
The concept of allowing a manifest for this code (or other oeqa tests) is a valid one but the patch would need to be updated for the newer codebase.
We're not going to do this and in fact we may remove runexported.py since it is not used and therefore not maintained.
