Could you point me to this policy? I'd like to learn more, but haven't been able to find it. Two probably naive questions: 1) Why? (I can imagine reasons, but don't want to assume that I know) 2) Is there a common pattern for handling upstream tests that break this rule? Maybe there's an alternative to disabling them? Thanks, Ross
