The definition of "New Failure" might be problematic.
E.g. If a test is added in 1.35, due to a bug found (and not fixed) in
1.34, a new failure occurs in the test output.
If functionality with poor quality is added to an old library, then
the code should not be accepted, not just marked as an expected
failure.
