When I looked at it, it certainly seemed that just about everything
*except* unittest.main was designed for subclassing.  Just regard
unittest.main as a convenience function or example code -- that's all
it's indended as, IIRC.

Having said that, that didn't stop me writing a hack to abuse
unittest.main, instead of bothering to figure out what and how to
subclass to do what I wanted.
