The last paragraph states of the git description states:

    This is the first (small) step in being able to store test results
    in an external location for archival/data mining purposes.

The question I suppose is whether storing the results in an external
location is something that should be xfstests' responsibility, or of
the test harnesses that call xfstests.  I suspect that since there are
so many different ways people might want to archive the results, it
does make sense for the test harnesses to handle this job, but I
wouldn't want to "presume" on anything that the xfstests developers
might choose to do....
