I think we have been very tolerant for failing tests and it is time to 
change this behavior. I propose that:

- we block commits for components that have failing tests listed in the 
tracking etherpad.


- once failing tests are addressed on a particular branch, normal patch 
merging can resume.

- If there are tests that cannot be fixed easily in the near term, we 
move such tests to a different folder or drop such test units.

Thoughts?
