I disagree here: disabling in Guix tests is _never_ done casually AFAIS
(as far as I see) but always ponderated and discussed, like in this case
;-)

Also: automated software testing is better than nothing but... who test
tests? *Sometime* it happens that tests introduces "collateral test
bugs" that have nothing to do with actual software issues, including
secutiry ones.
So IMHO neither upstream nor us should "blindly obey" to tests and
disable proved unreliable ones :-D
More on this specific issue in my next repy... :-)

Happy hacking! Gio'
