It's well known that many tests are no longer passing.  What we're more interested in are a) sudden deltas in num fails, or b) analysis to isolate certain failures to specific functional changes in the code.

Many test failures are false positives, because the test had been depending on incorrect behavior (either in cairo or the larger ecosystem), so as things get fixed the tests detect the change as a failure erroneously.  This unfortunately puts a ton of noise into the test suite, so raw test logs are not terribly useful for tracking here.

Of course, patches to help reduce test failures for any of the above reasons would be more than welcome!
