Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

I can change it to 'required' and 'optional'.

As for Antoine's comment, do you have another suggestion? I realize it isn't 
necessarily easier per se to manage these lists than the 'expected' list, but 
what would you rather have happen? Simply say tests are skipped because they 
were not imported and assume people pay enough attention to realize that some 
compilation error occurred for the modules? That doesn't seem like a much 
better solution; Nick once didn't realize that there was a compilation issue 
for an extension as the test was simply skipped to begin with. And when ctypes 
wouldn't compile under LLVM that was not exactly a test being skipped but a 
failure (albeit on LLVM's side in that case).
