I don't believe any of them even compile with Qt6. The test suite has
been unmaintained for years, so it doesn't really tell anything about
whether the program works correctly or not.

I would certainly agree that it is better to remove just the failing
ones if the issues were actual test failures due to how Guix packaging
works. Here the problem is that the project effectively no longer has a
test suite.
