One FAIL per platform per Perl version. Awesome.
Except that looking at my daily FAIL report, most of them are non-production releases...
ORLite-Mirror-0.06:
- i386-freebsd / 5.8.8 patch 34313:
- FAIL http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2180772 [perl.org]
- i386-freebsd / 5.8.8 patch 33662:
- FAIL http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2180771 [perl.org]
Can you please filter that crap out as well?

  Why crap? 5.8.9 is near, and we should find potential errors there as early as possible, shouldn't we? At least before the release is done?

    The utility of those reports depends on who has responsibility for the failure.

      So what if Nicholas decides: 34313 is good, nobody complained, so let's make 5.8.9 out of it? The report would at once become good, not anymore crap?

        If 34314 breaks everybody's distro, what's the point of notifying every distro author? The problem's clearly with 31314, not half of the CPAN.

        "Half of the CPAN"? Don't be ridiculous.

        Or in the case of "blead breaks Module::Build", 10% of CPAN.

        May be, but this is not blead. This is maint.

        Mistakes happen. That's why we have tests.
