I see the two issues as orthogonal. One issue it to have an accurate expectation for the actual testcase on actual targets. The other is to modify the testcase to test something else. While one can use the XPASS as a way of keeping track of the issue of improving the testcase, I'd rather approve the fix to fix the expected state and have people that want to track the other issue, instead of using XPASS to track that state, to use a PR instead. I think it would be nice to go even farther, and that would be to set the expected state on all testcases on 6 platforms at the time of release, to expected, filing PRs for all failures (any unexpected result) so marked and to actually gate the release on no unexpected results.
