Comment #1 on issue 1732 by pekka.klarck: 'Not performed' state next to PASSED / FAILED
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1732

1) Having "skipped" state has been requested several times earlier and I agree it would sometimes be useful. There several reasons why it is not going to be implemented in the foreseeable future:

- You already now can make test non-critical and get more or less the same effect. - Adding more states would be a very, very big task requiring changes to test execution logic, logs and reports, documentation, etc. I doubt anyone is interested to do that on his/her own time nor someone would be interested to sponsor it. - There are valid reasons to add even more states. Deciding what to add would be complicated. Making it somehow configurable would be good but require even more work.

2) I disagree that failed pre-condition should automatically mean that test is skipped. Having an explicit way to signal that would be ok. Nowadays you can do that by setting test critical using Set Tags or Remove Tags keywords.
