[Gluster-devel] regressions on release-3.7 ?

Kind of both.  I think the tests should be deleted so they don't
interfere with other work, but that means we'll have features without
tests.  Lack of a test should be considered a release blocker just as
surely as lack of the feature itself.  Therefore, either fixing the old
tests or developing new ones should be a very high priority.

Exactly.  We can't release until we can test.  Whether we can't test
because the tests are broken or because the tests are absent, the result
is the same.  New/fixed tests should be required before we can release.
