If the decorator is not ready for that (and the current skipIfTestFn does not appear to be), it will just cause the whole cause the whole class to be silently ignored (we've had this happen before).

Why don't we want this behavior?  With this check, an exception is being thrown if the condition is true.  Currently the test suite is not failing anywhere with this exception, meaning the check is never true.  And it would only be true if we put the decorator on the actual class.  Which we already do in some places (see `TestAddDsymCommand.py`) and is actually a very useful way of skipping or xfailing an entire class.  I want to be able to skip / xfail entire classes *more* easily, not less easily.
