Well, if you take a look at the *latest* regression results, it's much 
better.  In fact, I think xpressive should be failure-free once the last of 
tuesday tests is re-run, and python has only a few failures.

How does this work?  Are we going to wait for zero failures?  Often fixing 
two failures may be more difficult than fixing 400...
