If they do fail, they're not "false" positives. If they're "false", then the test is broken, no? So find a way to label them as tests added ex-post, with the failures *not* being regressions but rather latent bugs newly detected, and (presumably) as "wont-fix". >From a QA point of view one would like to be able to assess how many latent bugs are making it through to end-of-life. The new tests will help in that. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
