Do we have a policy of not adding new test files to stable branches?
New logging tests failed during some weeks. If we add new tests, we may
also break some stable buildbots. I don't think that we need to add
these new tests to a stable version.
When bugs are fixed in stable branches, they are usually accompanied by
tests that fail without the bugfix. I have understood the policy to be
that new tests go into stable branches. Failure indicates a bug in
either the not-really-so-stable branch or the test. In the latter case,
remove the test everywhere until fixed. In the former case, either fix
the bug in the stable branch immediately or open an issue and attach the
test code (skipping the test needed stage) or just disable it and note
on the issue that a fix patch should re-enable. The logging tests may
have been exceptional some way.
