11 I've been thinking about this for a while. Some packages have tests
12 that are meant only for upstream in certain conditions
13 and are not meant to be ran during installing. As we have ARCH teams,
14 couldn't we think a way in which TEST teams can
15 be created? I mean, a bunch of devs only focused on making tests work
16 or just restrict them?

18 This team (or a Gentoo project) can work hand by hand with other teams
19 and ARCH members.

21 Is it even possible?
