Is it worth moving the test_interface_files into rcl_interfaces/test_msgs? #136

Feature request

When I tested with the message type ( 'test_msgsmsgBasicTypes' / 'test_msgs::msg::BasicTypes' ), I thought the BasicTypes.msg file should be in the 'test_msgs' packages. This is the general rule, right?

Is there any reason to separate the msg files into the package test_interface_files?

I seem to remember it having to do with circular dependencies, which are hard to release on the buildfarm. But I'm not entirely sure of that, so it would be good to investigate whether that is the case.
