Comment(by rurban):

 Allison, please provide arguments about the claim that these tests are not
 stable or robust enough yet. They are young, but all known tests pass, and
 some tests on unknown platforms are todo.

 Your change did not changed it back to the previous skipped state,
 header was always passing,
 and the skip message says now "pending robust testing strategy, TT #357"

 How should a robust test strategy look like?
 Get 100% coverage first? Good. Lets skip all todo tests then for a major
 release
 (? => 0)

 But disabling these tests will not lead to more robust tests, it will lead
 to less coverage, less robust tests, with the same bugs in core.
 I've added the previous state commented out, so that at least willing
 parties
 can help in adding test coverage.

 Good that the release_manager guide was changed, because the wrong tool
 broke the tests in 0.9.1 and it is not needed anyway.
