Hi all,
this is about the PFTT2 repository[1]. This was used by the Windows QA
team long ago, and had a short-term revival about 2019, but was then
dropped in favor of using run-tests.php, while all the other features
(such as PHPUnit tests for applications and frameworks, WebDriver based
UI testing) could not have been restored during the revival period.
There are still a couple of unfixed serious bugs like
and most importantly, despite the name Fast Test Tool, it is actually
way slower than run-tests.php using a single worker.
I don't see any reasons to try to revive this project, so I suggest to
archive the repo.
Any thoughts, or even objections?

Archive it, I'd say. Do I need to press buttons for that?

Great, I've just archived it. I deliberately did not close unresolved
issues and PRs, because if anybody still wants to use the software, this
tickets may be helpful (and not closing the tickets saved some time).
