I can take a look at the KFAIL stuff this weekend if you want.
But if the ample majority wants to try again [2] and is willing to
work in establishing polices to try and make that work
this time and is willing to help enforcing those polices I would
agree with that.
So, I am for [3]->[2']->[0']
2' - [2] with extrict polices to prevent xfails to be forgotten.
0' - [0] but the tests are saved somewhere, so they are added
when the fix goes in.
