The problem with this is that 'smoke' was supposed to be fast. The 
scenario tests are part of the gate and I'm not sure we want to put such
a time budget on them. But we could limit a smoke tag to a subset of 
scenario tests, perhaps tailoring some of them for this purpose: maximum 
coverage for minimal time.
