Comment (by ncohen):
> Even worse. Now you just killed all experimental packages.
Hey, don't you think you are going a bit far? I "killed all experimental
packages"? Seriously?
> I think there should be a place in Sage for things that are known to be
broken but that people still care about.
Experimental packages are *advertised* as broken [1]. Why would you expect
them to pass tests? Addtionally, doctests can be removed if we need to. We
can do that during the release cycle that will merge this branch.
> Actually, a good compromise for this ticket might be: test only
''optional'' packages, move the known-broken packages (like `4ti2`) to
experimental.
This is what the first version of what this branch did. I was asked to
make this change [comment:17].
> If you want, you can create tickets for each of these broken packages
and advertise them on sage-devel.
I don't believe in opening tickets. I believe in written code. Advertising
the bugs to whoever uses the packages is the whole point of this branch.
