Well said Lucas & garret. We need to really look for some outdated testcase
currently existing with LTP. I can look into it incrementally, but like garret
if someone come to know about outdated testcase with LTP or some tetssuit which
need renewal, please let us know. We will work to renew them on high priority.

Some of the testsuits i am looking are:
    - cpu hot plug
    - memory hotplug
