 assertions to pass.

 There was a consensus some time ago to keep `@ticket` references even
 after the ticket is closed (so that we could quickly find the ticket if
 the test fails in the future):
 https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2011-11-02&sort=asc#m327088
 https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2012-07-08&sort=asc#m417979

 There was a performance issue caused by querying Trac for each ticket
 separately, but that was fixed in [891/tests].

 It's possible to forcibly run skipped tests either by specifying the
 ticket as a group (`phpunit --group 5953`), or by uncommenting
 `WP_TESTS_FORCE_KNOWN_BUGS` (for all tickets): [source:tags/3.7.1/wp-
 tests-config-sample.php#L10].

 I don't see a reason to remove `@ticket` references.
