Sometimes CI testing fails because of a bug in a compiler. It is possible to designate in a jam file that a particular test should not be done for a particular compiler version so that CI testing succeeds, and therefore a PR can be more easily merged because the CI tests "succeed". But then the fact that the compiler has a bug is masked by such a change to the jam file. Is there a solution to such a problem, or maybe this is really not a problem at all ? What do others think about this ?
