Do you really, really, really think all the tests will succeed under Wine from day 1 and we will be able to maintain them failure-free?
Absolutely. There's a very simple way of enforcing that: I'm not comitting anything that causes make test to fail.
That's great to hear, but I think you have to modify your statement a bit -- you may want to commit new tests don't yet pass, if they show a real flaw in Wine.
OK, let me show my support for your view, too.
IMHO not committing any tests that fail is a high goal, but it's simply the wrong one ;-)
Right now we've got a *lot* of problems giving people something worthwhile to hack on: Getting started with Wine is very difficult.
By giving people 150 (or, as far as I'm concerned, it'll be many more) tests that fail on Wine, they even have *choice* in selecting the specific issue that they want to fix !
That's why a "perfect" test suite is bad.
