The problem with this approach is that you'll fail to notice OTHER
(genuine) issues that your patch introduces, since you'll be trained to
ignore that line (and not necessarily look into the details).

Disabling only the flaky test sounds like a better way to go to me. Yes
it makes fixing the flaky test slightly more difficult, but at least it
doesn't increase the regression risk.
