Computers are binary, humans aren't (Score:2)

I use the percentages to track progress, and it's something I can point customers to.

Was there some other reason for this change?

  Other than removing extra code, and not wanting to support the "correctness" of that percentage, no. I had a ticket in RT where 99.994% rendered as 100%, which was misleading. But mostly it was because it just doesn't make sense to talk about tests in a way other than pass/fail. The whole end-of-the-run reporting system is on my short list to overhaul anyway.
