Specifically it drops skips and known failures.

Do you find that useful *during a run*, as opposed to at the end?
Many known failures are staying in our tree for months -- I think this
is fine, it's better than having no test for them -- but it does
suggest they are not something people urgently need to know about.

There is no bar.  It is just the count and then the test name.
