I have long given up trying to understand what an "expected skipped"
test is, and instead I'm now following Tim Peter's advise to trust
platform experts on these issues. So if you think anything should be
changed, please submit a patch to SF, and I'll apply it. You might
want to get into contact with the original submitter of the patch
first.

If you submit a patch, a patch for the mainline would be sufficient; I
can do the backport if changes are identical.

Regards,
Martin
