Why? While not immediatly installing KFAILs does increase the number of FAILs, GDB's failure rate has, for the last >2 years been artifically deflated to the tune of ~200! All I'm doing is removing that artifical adjustment, putting things back to where they should have been >2 years ago. Those XFAILs should have been pulled years ago but were not. Instead, as a political compromise, the move/debate was delayed until after Fernando invested their own time in getting KFAIL added. Are we now going to delay things by another N years while we all sit around and wait for someone to magically volenteer to do, in a single hit, all that audit work? Andrew
