Agreed, although I was actually following t/bin/runtests --help here,
not the POD documentation. Thus, both need to be updated? (Cloned bug)

> have not been updated to reflect the "recent" changes to the test suite

Presumably you are referring to the requirement (?) to first call t/
bin/build-test-packages first (which I thought about when away from
the keyboard last night).

If so, I think it's a really bizarre user interface that does not warn
you specifically when these are missing so I have retitled this bug
to match.

(I think I've just hit another bug in the tag extraction process which
I will file after this mail...)

Thanks.
