My advice is to fail them all, since that's the way to get the message
back to MTA authors to fix buggy ARC code.

Perhaps at some time in the future we will see consistent breakage due to
legacy non-ARC code that we can recognize as broken but legit, and we can
agree to do workarounds for them.  But at this point, all the ARC code is
new, all of it should work, and if it doesn't, the people who can fix it
are still around to make the fixes.

R's,
John
