Aha.  Well, if the stable branch is stable then the set of tests to
skip there is probably stable too ?  And on master it's built-in ?  So
this actually won't be a problem - in the sense that this will be
approximately the last necessary update to the list of tests to skip ?

It would be really good to have those individual subunit results as
substeps.  There is no subunit parser in osstest yet but we could have
one.

What version of subunit does it print out ?  The subunit v1 protocol
is lovely and simple but there is a Second System :-/.

I guess that tempest doesn't stop on the first failed test ?  So
perhaps we could just tolerate the failed-but-not-skipped tests ?

Ian.
