The feature-level FixedBy field changes every time a new advisory is published for a package. This causes frequent E2E test failures that require manual updates to the test assertions. Analysis of git history shows that ~74% of commits to testcase_test.go are updates to FixedBy values - maintenance overhead with minimal test value since: 1. Per-vulnerability FixedBy is still validated (stable, per-RHSA) 2. Vulnerability detection (correct CVEs/RHSAs) is still tested 3. CVSS metadata (scores, vectors) is still tested 4. Feature identification (name, version, namespace) is still tested This change mirrors the approach already used in grpc_test.go which clears FixedBy before comparison.
