But we'll be checking in -expected-failures.* for those cases, right (someone needs to implement it). That aligns better with our goal of putting information about tests as close as possible to tests themselves. I even hate the fact I have to look through test_expectations.txt to figure out expectations. However,

> The bigger problem with implying SKIP, is how do you decide when SKIP isn't applied? That needs some hidden set of rules that's too complicated IMO.

That's a very good point.
