[eclipse-dev] Obsolete explanations for performance degradations

[Philippe P Mulet <philippe_mulet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Discussing with Frederic, I realized
that our performance test infrastructure does allow for one explanation
to be carried over for subsequent releases. This means that if you mark
a test as grey today, you can ignore it for the next 5 years, since further
regressions will automatically be accounted by the obsolete explanation
you did set once upon a time.

I propose that the performance infrastructure
resets the explanations at the beginning of each cycle, so that obsolete
reasons are automatically ignored.

This would likely require that when
setting an explanation, one has to associate it with a version. So next
cycle, the performance infrastructure would ignore explanations for non
matching versions.
