Agreed. We have even discussed that we would like the bzr test suite to
pass all tests on developer machines without skipping anything. Though
that requires certain changes, especially to the implementation tests.

For example, the tests in branch_implementations are run against every
branch format, but branch format 0.0.1 cannot be created, since we only
support converting *from* that format. Most likely we just need to
switch to some other skip-like exception, to indicate these are not
skipped because the conditions are incomplete, but that these are being
skipped because they will never be run.
