7 We've already had this discussion before [1] and there is no
8 one-size-fits-all solution for tagging tests.

10 Ryan's plan only proposes to enable/disable tests based on whether they
11 can run inside a sandbox. That much is doable. Trying to quantify the
12 time a test suite will take to complete is impossible : different
13 arches, vastly different CPU clock speeds, same for HDDs sizes and
14 speeds, ... is impossible.

16 Basically, it boils down to "if you're running FEATURES=test, you should
17 know what you're doing".
