--XFAIL-- This test will fail until bug #123456 is fix
We have had similar discussions at MySQL during the mysqlnd development. QA folks asked to skip tests and/or mark them as TODO within the test as they aimed for zero test failures all the time. Personally I don't like that approach. Its sort of cheating, its hiding the true amount of test failures.
Point is to ease the life of those testing, fixing or porting php. There is too much false positive now and makes my work (to talk about one I know well ;) harder.
I have heard all this before. A history would help you filter out false positive as well and in addition to that you get a progress report. Ulf
