Three main possible reasons. First the test added no coverage. We
removed all tests that added no coverage beyond other tests. They slow
down the testing process and add no value (except as examples but tests
are not supposed to be examples -- as a result of developer feedback).
Second, the test may have been added to VTK after the 4.0 cvs repo was
created and the person who added it never added it to the 4.0 cvs. The
third possibility is that the test when examined was determined to be
broken, armed & dangerous, etc., and was not included in 4.0. I don't
know which is most likely for the specific test you are describing but
it was probably one of those three.
