I don't agree that this change makes the implementation significantly more cumbersome. I also think there's a backward compatibility argument to be made for allowing the uncalled usage, particularly considering the OP's published example and other similar ones, such as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2066508/disable-individual-python-unit-tests-temporarily which was for me the first Google result for "python unittest skip" that was not our own docs.
