Pointing out a flaw in following-through is not the same as
saying it's not policy. For each FAILs, IIUC they could be
XFAILed as long as there's a PR for the issue, even if only seen
as a testsuite regression.
Besides, I bet none of those you might refer to are for *new*
test-cases, known to fail when committed, which is the issue at
hand.
