Ah, but we were not talking about removing a test, but about removing
the XFAIL indication (i.e., g77.f-torture/execute/20000503-1.x - see
subject).
This is one of the things that have to be resolved with your approach to
regression testing (declaring all newly constructed testcases XFAIL):
Once an XFAIL test passes, and we *know* why it passes (namely because
someone fixed the bug), it should no longer be XFAIL (IMNSHO).
Do you agree ?
