Maybe it would help to finish implementing https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/7044. The biggest issue with XFAIL is that there will be some silly error in the way the test is written so that it never XPASSes, even when it should.
We should also do periodic reviews of XFAIL tests to see if they can be made into passing tests. Sometimes the thing that is expected to pass is a little different than what actually ends up passing.
