A solid Firebase Functions experience requires a fully functional test suite.
Firebase-functions-test is already there, and provides the experience, but is often forgotten for months.

Firebase functions 6 was released a month ago, and it broke functions-test.

There's currently a patch that fixes it, and it's been there for a week.

This idea isn't about this issue. It's about giving resources to the firebase-functions-text project, so it can continue growing and thus giving cloud firebase functions users a solid testing experience before deploying.
