I was clear on the intent, but concerned about the effect. Anyway if it
only changes the toolset name that is not an issue anymore.

No, but you changed the toolset name for a required platform and that is
a problem.

Well the reason for this is that someone started tp provide test results
for the branch that created a name clash. This is the root cause of the

I am not opposed to the toolset rename but in this case please fix
explicit-failures-markup.xml ASAP.
