Hi Alexei, Thanks for your comments - so your idea that "date-of-creation" and "authors" fields in the test's description became obsolete.

I'm not sure that for adding new tests these warning have to be removed. Also please keep in mind that the harness is used by several suites and developers. I think if some options/fields/functionality became obsolete (and should be removed due to different reasons) then it is better to discuss it first. If there are no objections then we can remove it. And it should be removed entirely, not partly as your patch does. In this case I don't know if "date-of-creation" and "authors" fields are useful in test's description or they put additional burden on developers. So I've changed the subject to to hear opinions of the harness's users . Thanks, Stepan. > > Thanks!
