Yeah, that would also work. An incomplete whitelist can't cause errors for those running other tests, as an incomplete blacklist could. So that's good. At some point, the whitelist would need to be turned into a blacklist. At the very latest when the whitelist is the full set of tests, in order to flip the default of new tests. ;-) Right now, I think whitelists and blacklists are about equally useful. Let's hope we're heading for a future where a blacklist gets more and more feasible, whereas a whitelist would get longer and longer. ;-) Martin
