An incomplete whitelist can't cause errors for those running other tests, as an incomplete blacklist could. So that's good. At some point, the whitelist would need to be turned into a blacklist. At the very latest when the whitelist is the full set of tests, in order to flip the default of new tests. ;-) Right now, I think whitelists and blacklists are about equally useful. Let's hope we're heading for a future where a blacklist gets more and more feasible, whereas a whitelist would get longer and longer. ;-) Martin
