That would be annoying for testing. Regtest mode allows you to create a new block by just running "setgenerate true" (it switches itself off after creating a block). If you had to set up a complicated set of separate programs just to do regtest mode that'd be a step backwards, IMO.

Yes, that is currently being discussed in a separate pull request.  My
pull request does not impact setgenerate, but an added proposal does
remove the internal miner completely.
