One of my goals for 3.10 is to improve the quality of the

first release (coming soon!) will have only green tests, and each following release will have only green tests.
How does removing failing tests improve the quality?
Woa, where does that hostility come from? There is another way to ensure all tests are green, besides removing the failing ones.
What hostility? I could not see why this improves the quality because to me the first step to fix a problem is to admit that you have a problem. Failing tests are pointer to problems for me. Removing failing tests because they can not be fixed today or tomorrow looked to me like an attempt to hide hide a problem. So I asked and now I know the reason why it was done.

Philippe, where did you read that failing tests will be removed? "First release will have only green tests" means, that all tests remain and will pass, not fail. There will be no test removal at all! I'm, pretty sure you misunderstood something.

Sorry Philippe, then I have to agree with you and join to Goran's proposition to classify the test, removing them is not a good solution I think.
