Re: Need to resolve expected behavior of XFailing tests caused by tree conflicts (Issue #3209)

Stephen,

To clarify ...

Group 3 is "done". Does that mean the test is no longer XFAIL? It
seemed like you just changed the description of the test from the
comments. But perhaps that was all Paul was pointing out needed to be
done. I guess my assumption with this issue is that when we are
"done" the tests will no longer be XFAIL.

You are working on groups 1 & 2. Do you think you'll be able to bring
these to completion? Any ideas on how much work is left/when it will
be completed?

Group 4 ... what is your take on Paul's comments? Is this just an
area where there could be differences of opinion but it is working as
intended. Or is something broken and this is an item where more work
needs to be done?

Thanks

Mark
