Hey all,

we have certain test cases, which are failing regularly on Travis. In all
cases I can think of we just keep the test activated.

I think this makes it very hard for regular contributors to take these
failures seriously. I think the following situation is not unrealistic with
the current policy: I know that test X is failing. I don't know that person
Y fixed this test. I see test X failing (again for a different reason) and
think that it is a "known issue".

I think a better policy is to just disable the test, assign someone to fix
it, and then only enable it again after someone has fixed it.

Is this reasonable? Or do we have good reasons to keep such tests (there
are currently one or two) activated?
