I was about to suggest that maybe PHP should have a rule: "no release with failing tests".
What's the point of a test that fails (or XFAILs)? Either something is broken - then it should
be fixed. Or the test makes no sense - then it should be removed.
Yes, I realize this is a simplistic view and things are more complicated in practice. But since, as
stated, PHP is paying more attention to tests now (which is a good thing!), maybe it's time to
take this one step further.
