The pending feature is designed to help with this problem by allowing you to disable an example while still keeping it visible. If we were to do what you propose, we'd need to offer an opt-out and/or the ability to configure the percentage. Consider a suite that uses a lot of comments to annotate the specs. The problem with making it configurable is that the folks who's priorities lead them to comment out examples instead of fixing them will likely just disable this feature. I'd say, let's encourage people to use 'pending' correctly. WDYT?
