Couldn't we just give them bug numbers so they will show up as XFAIL 
instead of FAIL?

I do understand that the problem with XFAIL is that we don't seem to be 
very effective at actually fixing some of these long standing known 
bugs, but it seems better to me that we acknowledge rather than skip them.
