The recent and ongoing discussion over is_remote (and why is that
the only is* predicate with an underscore in the name?) and its
less-than-entirely-accurate implementation started me thinking about
the topic. What would be a better way to handle remote testing?
I wondered about that, too. I will add an isremote proc that wraps
is_remote. We can then try and depreciate is_remote over the
long-term.
Please hold off doing that -- it may be necessary for isremote to test
different conditions and is_remote may need to be kept as is for
compatibility until it is removed. If is_remote is deprecated now, we
could have problems later. Better for testsuites to migrate to a new
name with new (and correct) semantics than to change the name while
keeping the broken semantics we have now.
