I think it is better to see messages about bugs present in the level
being tested.
Some reminder somewhere would be useful. I don't know what makes the
most sense. Even an entry in the httpd-test/STATUS or perhaps
2.0.x/STATUS file about test failures that have been diagnosed (and
can be skipped if you're just looking for regressions) would be
useful.
Known test failures:
2.0.64-dev as of rXXXXXXX:
PR46xxx test fails because fix hasn't been backported to 2.0.x branch
