Most files of course do not pass, so there is an extensive skip list for
now. (The only files that do pass are 209, 254, 283, and iotests.py.)
(Alternatively, we could have the opposite, i.e. an explicit list of
files that we do want to check, but I think it is better to check files
by default.)
I decided to include the list of files checked in the reference output,
so we do not accidentally lose coverage of anything. That means adding
new Python tests will require a change to 297.out, but that should not
be a problem.
I have a parallel series, "Rework iotests/check", one of its aims is drop
group file, to avoid these endless conflicts in group file when you want
to send series or when you are porting patches to/from downstream.
And you are trying to add one another "group" file :) I don't like the
idea.
Why should we loose accidentally the coverage? Logic is extremely simple:
all files except for the list.
