<p dir="ltr">Lots of questions, I'm sorry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Are you planning to drop them indefinitely or is it temporary ? Is it to help alleviate the gate from it's current misery ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Why were these tests introduced in the first place ? To find issues or bottenecks relative to scale or amount of operations ? Was it a request from the operator community ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have a strong feeling there is a very real need for *something* that is able to find silly issues that only manifest themselves beyond the scale of one VM before we ship something to the operator community.</p>

This is fundamentally a performance test, with timings having been tuned<br>
to pass 98% of the time on two clouds that were very predictable in<br>
performance. We're now running on 4 clouds, and the variance between<br>
them all, and between every run on each can be as much as a factor of 2.<br>
<br>
We could just bump all the timeouts again, but that's basically the same<br>
thing as dropping them.<br>
<br>
These tests are not instrumented in a way that any real solution can be<br>
addressed in most cases. Tests without a path forward, that are failing<br>
good patches a lot, are very much the kind of thing we should remove<br>
from the system.<br>
