 Canonical URL tests are the only ones that still get skipped if they
 specify a ticket number and the ticket on Trac is still open.

 Everything about this is wrong.

 1. You can make your test suite go from a failing state to a passing state
 by re-opening a ticket on Trac. This actually happened
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20383#comment:10 here] but nobody
 noticed because the test suite is covered in skipped tests anyway.
 2. You can grab a patch from an open canonical ticket and run the test
 suite and all of its new tests will be skipped and you won't even know it.
 3. This is all a remnant of the test suite behaviour before #30284.
