I have only one suggestion -- *please* fix this now, if you have time,
and in whatever way you see fit. You know the test suite at least as
well as, and perhaps better than, anyone else.
And (my opinion here) if fixing the test suite means tests start
failing, don't worry about fixing those tests before committing. I
can't speak for others, but XFAILs don't speak as loudly to me from a
motivational standpoint as do FAILs. :-)
