There seem to exist certain inconsistency between which compilers are marked as "required" in explicit-failures-markup.xml, and how often the regressions are run on these compilers.
Some, yes, in particular because the list hasn't been updated yet for the upcoming release.
For example, for a long time there has been no results for msvc or vc-7_0.
They are back online now and will stay that way.
The cw-8_3 appeared in the regression tables some time ago (adding 20 or so failures to the typeof test results), had the regressions run a couple of times, and vanished (probably somebody removed the old results).
We were actually thinking about permanently dropping out cw-8_3 from our tests, but I guess following the principle of not dropping support without giving one release worth of warning means that we should stick with it for one more round. Hmm, David, is there a chance you could pick this one up from us? Alternatively, we can pick it up ourselves if somebody takes MSVC 6.5/7.0 from us (we would like to keep our regression cycle under 12 hours to provide a more or less adequate "feedback time"). -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
