Plus all the doctests, when it is optional, would be marked
# optional - f4

Yes, this is definitely the general policy. We can override any
general policies via a vote, if necessary. That said, there would
have to be very compelling case to skip optional -- e.g., we *need*
some package ASAP to support a new version of an OS.
