I don't use Addins, so I'm not the best qualified to answer this, but I
imagine if I did use Addins, I would want to put [RequiredAddin] mostly on
methods, so that my test framework could remain in-tact with their current
assembly organization, and those tests would simply not run if the Addin was
not available. (showing yellow in the nunit-gui)

Do most Addins make their own [MyTest] attributes to mark tests?
