Could vocabularies in extra that fail tests be moved to unmaintained by
mason, the mailing list sent an email, and 'jackass' notifying in
#concatenative? That might make life a little easier.
Perhaps confirmation might be needed as removing one vocab that has failing
tests may be USEd by others that don't fail; or vocabs that USE the failing
vocab could be moved temporarily as well.
