You're right, sorry, I should've been more clear.

Tickets are not closed without tests, but as you pointed out not everything
should be spec-ed. That's correct. Therefore, some tests go to
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/tree/nom/t (these tests can be changed at any
moment and don't serve as a guarantee for anything, they exist merely to keep
rakudo from regressing).
I don't know if there are docs on that topic anywhere. I mentioned it in the
squashathon guide
(https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/wiki/Rakudo-SQUASHathon-Guide#resolving-testneeded-tickets)
but we probably need a proper explanation somewhere.
