One thing to note on the created churn: I have noticed a proportion of kselftests currently implement skipped tests in a way that does not use the SKIP directive. They use a comment of the format "# [SKIP]" prior to a test result line with no SKIP directive. Thus, in order to reach KTAP compliance the way skip tests are handled would need to be changed in these cases anyways.
This is the documented way of reporting a skip in KTAP:

TBH I'm finding it really hard to summon much enthusiasm for changing this except as part of some other incompatible update - the current format isn't ideal but deploying a change would be a bunch of hassle for the existing test automation systems.
