+# This file serves as a blacklist for SyTest tests that we expect will fail in
+# Synapse.
+# 
+# Each line of this file is scanned by sytest during a run and if the line
+# exactly matches the name of a test, it will be marked as "expected fail",
+# meaning the test will still run, but failure will not mark the entire test
+# suite as failing.

+# Test names are encouraged to have a bug accompanied with them, serving as an
+# explanation for why the test has been excluded.
