Description
A common problem I run into with tests is that it's hard to verify they actually do anything. Consider for example #102038: this test had no changes, but before that PR did not actually ensure that the issue didn't reoccur.
We could avoid problems like that by adding a new test annotation, // test-fails-with nightly-YYYY-MM-DD
. That will make sure the test actually does something and hasn't always passed.
It will be too expensive to run all those versions on each bors run, so we could instead only run it every 6 weeks before a release (perhaps we can fold this into crater how? at least the automation if not the same codebase.)
