Normally one uses testing to do Test Driven Development +(TDD); however we do not do that here. Therefore there are times when legitimate tests +exist but fail due to code in trunk.

So sometimes we desire +a test to point out that "this needs fixing" but it doesn't affect portage's overall +functionality.
