Tests that are known to fail should never be checked into the Head.


And, for once, I would not qualify that with an "except when they should 
be.".

The CVS head is not an FTP site, it is not a shared hard-drive or a 
backup tape.


If tests are labeled 'dontTestFoo' then they should also attract an

   # XXX bogus test that fails

comment, or similar, so that its bogosity can be found by grepping for XXX.
