+# Lists past failures and files associated with it. The intention is to build
+# up a subset of a testsuite that catches 95% of failures that are relevant for
+# distributions while only taking ~5m to run. This in turn makes it more
+# reasonable to re-test sage on dependency changes and makes it easier for
+# users to override the sage derivation.
+# This is an experiment for now. If it turns out that there really is a small
+# subset of files responsible for the vast majority of packaging tests, we can
+# think about moving this upstream.
