Maybe that's a matter of preference, but I would much rather see the
former than the latter.

What I would like to avoid is having two decorators like:
@xfail(or(a=A, not(b=B)), c=C')
@xfail(a=A', or(b=B', not(c=C')))
on a single test. At that point it becomes quite impossible to figure
out when the test gets run.

Also, arguably, if you are doing "or", then you are probably dealing
with separate bugs, and each should deserve it's own bugnumber.
