JUnit Pioneer is a JUnit Extension library, maintained by Nicolai Parlog, me and others.
When I saw the linked PR which sets a explicit locale for a test class I instantly thought about the [Pioneer Default Locale and TimeZone extension][https://junit-pioneer.org/docs/default-locale-timezone/], which was written for such test cases.

The library could be useful in some tests, but ofc it's an additional dependency.

Seems heavyweight for what we would use. Some of the features in JUnit Pioneer seem very cool., Some, however seem actively harmful and antithetical to good principles of test driven development. It feels to me like this library makes the mistake of many utility libraries: it's a grab bag of everything the devs thought of rather than a tightly focused collection that does one thing and does it well. It would be more useful if it were split into many smaller pieces. E.g. I could certainly consider DefaultLocale but I'm not willing to take ExpectedToFail.
