> Hey, don't you think you are going a bit far? I "killed all experimental
packages"?
I only used that wording because you said that I was killing your ticket.
> Experimental packages are *advertised* as broken [1]. Why would you
expect them to pass tests?
I don't expect them to pass tests. In fact, that was the whole point of my
argument. They are known to fail tests, but so be it. Just don't force
everybody to see those failures.
> Addtionally, doctests can be removed if we need to.
They should not be removed, unless the doctest itself (not the code that
it tests or the result) is somehow bad. That's what `# known bug` is for:
to be able to keep the doctest but not see the failure in every `make
ptest` run. My idea with experimental packages is that marking a package
as "experimental" acts like adding `# known bug` to every optional doctest
of that package.
