Comment (by catalyst):

 After discussion on IRC, it seems like [query:keywords=~test-waiver test-
 waiver] might be a reasonable keyword to use to mark tickets where we
 decide that it's infeasible to add a regression test for a bug.

 Such a ticket should contain a written justification for why it's
 infeasible to add a regression test covering the bug.  This can include
 excessive code complexity or the requirement for external test fixtures
 that need to be manually set up.

 Being able to easily search Trac for such tickets will make it easier to
 locate places where we could improve the testability of our code.
