+3.1 Note
+--------
+
+The way 'piglit run' and 'piglit summary' count tests are different, 'piglit
+run' counts the number of Test derived instance in the profile(s) selected,
+while 'piglit summary' counts the number of subtests a result contains, or it's
+result if there are no subtests. This means that the number shown by 'piglit
+run' and the total as calculated by 'piglit summary' may not match.
