`+1`
> No, but it's the job of ''every ticket'' to ensure that the ticket does
not make doctests fail. I think it will be very confusing when we get lots
of reports that `make ptest` fails just somebody installed an optional
package. At least, those `make` targets should use `--optional=sage` then.
`-1`, don't shoot the messenger. The ticket does not make doctests fail,
but it makes them being executed.
> Alternatively, mark failing tests as `# known bug`.
That might be in the scope of this ticket.
On the other hand: Detecting failing tests (so that they can be marked)
would require running `make ptest` on a Sage installation with all
optional packages. Or perhaps even one Sage installation for each subset
of optional packages, since I could imagine that optional package A makes
tests fail that work fine if additionally optional package B is installed.
That doesn't seem feasible.
