Would it by any chance be possible to remove such pointless tests, or at
least mark them as BROKEN ? Having them present suggests that people should
run them, and feedback such as this one isn't really helpful. If anything,
it is tremendously frustrating for anyone trying to run those tests and
getting that kind of feedback when noticing and reporting that they are
broken.

Thanks,
