I agree.

We had some concerns about the performance of "smart" pointers when we
started on the DNS side, but I think performance has been excellent, so
this should not be a motivation to use raw pointers in general.

In this particular case, it's a unit test, so performance is certainly
not a concern.

p.s. This is basically best practice #13 from _Effective C++_ right?
