In the past, some of these tests were changed to throw to 'unresolved instead of failing. This addresses the issue by not alerting users for non-issues. As a side effect, we basically ignore these tests, which isn’t good either. So I’d try to be caution and only move from fail to unresolved those tests, for which we routinely observe random failures. On my laptop and on Hydra, none of these tests fails, neither on x86_64 nor on i686, so I’d be inclined to let them as is. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
