Comment (by jorbin):

 @microgroove - Keeping purposefully failing tests in the repo no longer
 makes sense.  Back when we had two separate repositories and two separate
 tracs, it made sense to commit unit tests that we knew weren't going to
 pass.  At that point, tests and our core code were essentially two
 separate projects. Now that we have combined them into one, it no longer
 makes sense.  Our tests are as core to our project as any other piece of
 code we have.

 That said, all the tests marked for 29557 are currently passing in trunk
 for me (even though the ticket is open for other reasons), so I have no
 intention of removing them.  The work on this ticket is to make sure that
 we always run those tests even though the ticket is open (so we don't
 inadvertently break that code with other changes).
