I'm not sure. Can you give a simple use case for
"do_not_run"? Could "do_not_run" be achieved by just
commenting out the INI lines that pertain to a certain
group? E.g., do these "#" comments ...

# simple_really_slow:tests = src/MPI_Isend_flood_c src/ MPI_Send_flood_c

No, because if an upper-level &find_executables() found MPI_*end_flood_c, then they'll run in that section (vs. the simple_really_slow subsection). The intent was to have a mechanism to specify: here's some tests, exclude them from all other sections, but *don't* run them.


# simple_really_slow:pass = &and(&test_wifexited(), &eq(&test_wexitstatus(), 0))
 # simple_really_slow:exclusive = 1
 # simple_really_slow:timeout = &sum(90, &multiply(3, &test_np()))

... have the same effect as this?

 simple_really_slow:do_not_run = 1

Instead, you'd have:

simple_really_slow:tests = src/MPI_Isend_flood_c src/MPI_Send_flood_c
simple_really_slow:do_not_run = 1
