Questions relevant to who? I am unconvinced. I don’t see how the output answers either of those questions.

Sure, but I am not running tests in one directory. We can write this out when doing any special type of test running, but not in the normal case.

Yes but it never helps me. Is there some way we can make this clear to you in a less wordy way?

I’d like some evidence this is true. Could you cite any recent example where someone would have had to re-run? If re-running is the concern, then we should write this data into a file.
You haven’t convinced me that any of this output is helpful in the day-to-day while running tests.</pre>
