The exclusion files are currently only for SMB3, the dialect where most crunch/interest is right now, but will later be expanded to include also earlier dialects. The purpose of the exclusion files and the reason for having them in the git tree is to avoid the current situation where all cifs developers have their own scripts and their own list of tests ro run or not to run. These are all, of course, not synchronized so I expect everyone to run slightly different tests. If we have this in git then we have one canonical list of tests that are run and also explanations for why some tests are expected to fail. In particular the latter would be useful for newcomers as it might not be immediately obvious why a whole bunch of tests would fail and if it is expected or not.
