yes, if you would do that to KWin I would revert the change. Why? Because 
given the new policy the release team sets up it would mean that kde-workspace 
would not be allowed to be released unless that gets fixed.

I don't see how review board would change it. The change to the unit test 
cannot be applied without a fix due to the reason given above.

Also I think this could have quite negative impacts on unit testing in 
general. It might move the view of developers from "tests are useful" to 
"tests are annoying".
