Hi,
Lot many fixes to tests were found to be not back ported to
3.7 and other release branches.
This causes tests to fail only in those branches and leaves
the maintainers puzzled.
Also, this seems to be the case with back porting code
fixes too.
This is failing for ./tests/bugs/distribute/bug-860663.t
test :
[10:39:11] Running tests in file

Given that it is a simple rebalance command that is failing
I am assuming that a critical patch has not been back ported
to 3.7, correct me if I am wrong.
I request every developer to take responsibility of back
porting patches.
Corollary question: Our test-framework is now capable of
disabling tests for certain OS, certain branch etc. I would
like to propose that we stop having tests in main git repo.
This will remove need to back port test only fixes.
