Sure, once applications start depending on Win2000 features/bugs we'll
have to implement them. But we don't know yet which of these features
will be important; and implementing every single one of them is a huge
waste of time since the vast majority of them will never matter.

Yes. If a test does not behave consistently, it means it doesn't test
an exported feature of the API, but just a random side effect. These
tests are useless and should be dropped, unless we identify an app
that relies on the side effect.
