I think a name based on the observed behaviour ("feature") would be
more appropriate because I'd be more worried about us finding other
glitches we see (initially) only on FBSD. People who need to adjust
tests that use the same FBSD prereq would have to wonder which
prereq-skip is due to which glitch.
