Is the test.winehq.org front page too pessimistic?

That's not a useful number, many files run a lot of tests, of which a
huge majority always succeeds. Having a single failure among 10,000
tests means that the test failed, and it's something bad that should be
taken care of. Showing that as a 99.99% success would be very misleading.
