Fully agreed if we can't fix them. But we also need to strike some balance for otherwise we can never enable we self-tests. And I absolutely want those enable to have the best possible regression testing coverage. E.g. every time we add a substantial amount of new checks to the modeset state checker it takes 1-2 releases to settle all the fallout. But we're backporting all the fixes, except when they're too invasive (in which case we disable the check temporarily or restrict it). -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
