This is contrary to what we agreed before [1], and I strongly oppose 
it.  Before we decided:

1.) TestGL talks in a bit of detail about test-related process 
principles/practices, in non-normative way in a section at the end of TestGL.

2.) lightweight reference to #1 from QAH.

That decision is implemented now in QAH, [2] and [3].  IMO, we MUST stop 
fiddling with previous decisions unless there's a compelling reason to 
revisit them, especially when they start impacting other parts of QAF (like 
the published QAH).

For convenience, here is the relevant bit from [1]:
