My initial thoughts are not to put the time into grandfathering or
re-running these unless necessary.  Many tests have undergone revisions
(which would require careful evaluation if grandfathering), and I am not
sure there is much value in listing unmaintained implementations in the
report, unless they help with getting two passing implementations for a
given test.  (Not to say that all of those in that list are
unmaintained, but some are.)

If you have the time to do a run through of those that are still being
developed, like eSVG, then that would be useful, I think.

IMO, let’s only try to get ASV running if we really need it for the
report.
