Just to make sure we understand each other: I'm *not* advising going
through that list and trying to fix each one.  If you really want to,
I've got a version of the list that's partially digested with some ideas
about which are worth working on, but that's probably not the best use
of your time.

I just use that list just to get a clean newpynfs run on recent kernels.
So I run

	newpynfs $server:/$serverpath/pynfstest
		--rundeps --hidepass --maketree all notimed noutf8
		(list starts here:) noWRT5 noRNM10 noRM7 noRD4...

and it prints only the failures, so I immediately see any regressions.

You could accomplish the same by doing a diff against a known run,
except I think some of the known failures may be intermittent.
