But nobody will...
Removing the XFAILS without replacing them with KFAILS is not fixing a bug.
Why?
While not immediatly installing KFAILs does increase the number of
FAILs, GDB's failure rate has, for the last >2 years been artifically
deflated to the tune of ~200! All I'm doing is removing that artifical
adjustment, putting things back to where they should have been >2 years ago.
Those XFAILs should have been pulled years ago but were not. Instead,
as a political compromise, the move/debate was delayed until after
Fernando invested their own time in getting KFAIL added. Are we now
going to delay things by another N years while we all sit around and
wait for someone to magically volenteer to do, in a single hit, all that
audit work?
