Hoi, There is no point having a perfect score when it is actually a lie. It seems to me that Brion is against the removal of these tests because he wants them to pass. Having a third state of "known to fail" makes sense, just changing them to pass makes it necessary to add a "citation needed" because it is just not true. Thanks, GerardM

Suppose that someone fixes a test that has been always failing... one of those "known to fail". It makes no difference right ??
Difference in what sense? It means we have one less failing test reported, presumably.
Giving them the status of pass is imho dead wrong because they should not fail in the
first
place.. now a status of KNOWN TO FAIL makes sense.
The known-failing tests have never passed. They're a wishlist. None of them are likely to be fixed in the foreseeable future. I'd be fine with just removing them, but Brion has been against it in the past.
