Given the non-final status of APP, perhaps it would be better if, rather than immediately removing tests, they were marked as 'deprecated' and deprecated tests were skipped by default, unless an appropriate command line parameter (eg. --usedeprecated=yes) is passed in. A similar mechanism for introducing proposed tests (perhaps ones associated with a PACE) could also be used (eg. --testpace=PaceReplaceTypeWithAccept). This should prevent (or at least reduce) 'put the test in', 'take it out', 'put it in', thrashing. - Michael
