I don’t think anyone is happy with that. The alternative seems to be:
keeping an older version that perhaps didn’t have these problems but may
have known bugs and security issues, or keeping a package that fails to
build for a possibly long time.
I think disabling specific tests is the least bad of these options. In
this case, we know that the offending tests relate to a specific
backend, and one can at least assume that potential issues are in that
area. So I do think that this is an appropriate response.
Of course, in any such case, we should report the issue upstream, even
if we all too well know that non-deterministic test failures are hard to
address…
