Service listing for test jobs is actually quite dangerous, because then
something can change something about which services are registered, and
you automatically start skipping 30% of your tests because you react
correctly to this change. However, that means the job stopped doing what
you think it should do.

*This has happened multiple times in the past*. And typically days,
weeks, or months go by before someone notices in investigating an
unrelated failure. And then it's days, weeks, or months to dig out of
the regressions introduced.

So... test jobs should be extremely explicit about what they setup and
what they expect.
