I'm not sure about including javax/print in this list. They might be
stable but they only pass if there is a printer attached. I see you
have them listed as "known issues" [1] but I think it really reduces
the chances that all the tests in the proposed group will pass.<br>
<br>
I'm also not sure about the SCTP test. We put them into their own
group because they are highly sensitive to the kernel configuration
and/or the libsctp that is installed. They do pass if SCTP is not in
the kernel but they have been troublesome on older kernels that had
it configured. I guess I can't really object to including this and
we can always remove it if there are complaints.<br>
<br>
As regards the rest then there are few tests in these areas that
fail when running headless. I'm interested in hearing other views on
that topic. Volker's suggestion to have a stable and stable-headful
is one approach. I guess I just object to tests doing strange polkas
on my desktop. Also it is very appealing in server environments so
not have to setup a virtual frame buffer.<br>
