We'd just want to document that we haven't implemented the feature yet, and thus some tests are inapplicable. So NEVERFIX would be something we'd be even more reluctant to apply. We would not even want to mark the difference between "we haven't enabled this feature yet, but probably will very soon" and "we have no plans to ever implement the feature unless something changes", as that would be communicating information about future releases.

NOT_IMPLEMENTED, or something similar like FEATURE_MISSING, might be good.
