Comment (by hellais):

 Yes this sounds good to me. The only changes that I would make are to the
 body.

 Nameley the fact that the body should be a list and not a dict. This is
 because you may want to run the same NetTest, but with different options.

 I would hence propose a format that goes something like:

 {{{
 header: {collector: 'http://localhost', logfile: path/to/log.log}
 body:
 - nettest: manipulation/http_requests
   options:
   - {url: 'http://google.com'}
   - no-collector
 - nettest: manipulation/http_manipulation
   options:
   - {backend: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080'}
 }}}

 I also think we should first write up a specification of the new deck
 format (adding it to the ooni-spec repository), submit it for review by
 writing an email to tor-dev, before we end up writing any code. This will
 save us having to redesign the deck another time.
