We're now over half way through, so I can give some reasonable estimates:

 20% failure rate
>10% skipped as a result of failed dependencies

70% pass rate

The vast majority of these failures are in rarely-or-never cast spells, 
but that can be a self-fulfilling prophesy itself, so we should make 
some effort to fix these bugs anyways, although not for this round of 
testing.

A preliminary weight of spells cast according to ledger:

winners: 32065
losers:   3508
skipped:  1507
uncast:   8724
total:   45804

86% of spells cast weighted to actual use are successful

So we can expect 1 in 7 new casts by popularity (not including spell 
updates) to fail so far.  This will change as the low-priority uncast 
spells get cast and add to the winners and losers lists.  This is partly 
self-selecting, so we don't know of failures where people gave up and 
didn't get them fixed so they didn't show up on the ledger.
