Test cases or suites which hang are not so useful, as those can not be used in a
CI, or diagnosed, until someone has time to manually dig into the issue, and the
few volunteers with such experience have limited time to do so. See below!
Failures are good: please report the details of each as a Simple Test Case which
reproduces the failure, and allows volunteers to diagnose the cause.
