I found it weird that we consider a skipped test as a failure.\n\n### CPython versions tested on:\n\n3.12\n\n### Operating systems tested on:\n\nLinux\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-113856\n* gh-113875\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/fishy","@type":"Person","name":"fishy"},"datePublished":"2024-01-02T18:15:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":17},"url":"https://github.com/113661/cpython/issues/113661"}
