Jay, I agree with the idea that we should check the test in anyway. But 
we have the issue of who remembers to remove the skip decorator  when 
the bug is fixed. Since we are going to be running tempest nightly, I 
think it might be better to make these tests fail in the absence of the 
bug rather than being skipped. I think  there may already be some cases 
in Tempest that do this.

I agree with David, and I prefer that the test failed rather than using skip decorator.
