There are a few places where our unit tests could benefit hugely from
sharing fixtures (ie the dummy data) across a series of tests. Take the
`suggestions` group, for instance: these tests create a bunch of data
during each `setUp()`, but the data is the same between tests, and is not
modified during the tests. So it's safe to share it, and shave a minute or
more off of the running time of our suite.
Sharing fixtures should generally be done with caution, but when the tests
are testing only *get* functionality, it should be safe.
