But since it's not executed anywhere in tempest gate, even as
non-voting (?), it's effectively dead code that may be long broken
without anyone knowing. Of course there are consumers of the tests
downstream, but for those consumers it's a tough call to start
depending on the tests if they are not sanity checked by tempest
itself. Wouldn't it make sense to have some job in tempest gate that
would execute those tests (maybe just them to speed up such a job?
maybe non-voting? maybe even as periodic? but there should be
something that keeps it green in long run).
