I'm not sure that is the right answer - at least not for Boost 1.34.
I am concerned that JustSoftwareSolutions are not so much reporting
regressions, as running tests in new configurations - release builds.
This is an incredibly valuable contribution, but nailing these problems
is new work, not fixing regressions. Given that we really want to ship
1.34 sooner rather than later, I would suggest this test runner focus
back on the mainline, and we pay attention to release-configuration
issues for 1.35.
In particular, I am wondering if we can mark up expected failures
separate for release vs. debug builds, and now is not the time to be
working out answers to such questions!
