Yes, that's why I wrote "ignore". Something like NOTMUCH_IGNORE_TESTS
which runs the test, outputs the diff on fail, but "succeeds" without
counting towards pass/fail, and reports the number of ignored
pass/fail separately - basically "known_broken" without the
"known/expectation".

I just don't know whether it's worth it. Other folks disable a whole
test suite when they want to get a package update going ...
