Hi Nilesh

When I saw the list yesterday, it showed dozens and dozens of packages running tests. In my previous upload where there
was a bug, I saw around 20 or so packages failing.

There's only 5 there, likely because it is bad display or things that passed do not show up. On that entire page, you will mostly find packages that are _failing_. It is also not correct (or even believable) that only 5 packages in the whole archive ever depend on matplotlib for tests given this is a very popular plotting library.

So that statement is incorrect.

hmm, ok, I'm very happy to be incorrect on that. I did check the excuses pages of some other packages and they seemed to show lots of packages that were passing. That's great news.

I'm still quite confident that we're undertesting though - I saw on the developer list for src:sasview that it's not compatible with matplotlib 3.10 and yet no flags from any tests are coming up. Like many uses of matplotlib, it probably doesn't even have tests that actually touch the failing code.

cheers
Stuart
