I like this suggestion for all the reasons @yln gave. However, I'd prefer --filter-out. It has the same advantages @yln gave, such as being obvious if you know what --filter does.  A small disadvantage is lack of grammatical symmetry. My issue is that --filter is not a clear name whereas --filter-in would've been clear.   Without that context, --filter-not is worse, in my opinion.  It sounds like "don't filter these tests", but isn't that the meaning of --filter?  --filter-out is clear in any context, in my opinion.
