[QGIS-Developer] What to do about WFS test failures?

[Even Rouault]

Régis,

Not that I'm against improvements, all the contrary, but just wanted to 
underline that the provider was seriously refactored already in 2.16. Clearly 
the lack of WFS-T support for 1.1 and 2.0 in the scope of those enhancements 
can be a source of confusion currently for users. What do you have in mind as 
refactoring exactly ?
