Log Message: ... the tests aren't run by default because I wanted to minimize upheaval to the 2.3 test suite
What is the reasoning behind this? It seems to me that if a (passing) test is being added, maintenance releases are the *most* important places to run them. On the other hand, I've also seen Raymond check (regression) tests into only development, so it seems to be a conscious choice. *I* just don't understand it. -jJ

In this case, it's because adding the test requires importing a new module ('pre'), which in turn would require adding a warning, which would require checking that the warning didn't mess anything else up. I thought it was a bit too much upheaval for a module that no one should be using any more. If Anthony or Guido or someone tells me to bite the bullet and make the test run, I'll do it, of course. --amk
