this sounds equivalent to saying "Since we don't have enough resources (or
a plan) to investigate why some tests take so long, let's give up"... But
then maybe we should have that explicit discussion, rather than assuming
it's a truth.
Since we are focused on quality I don't think it's acceptable to say we are
fine if a test takes an unexpected amount of time to run. The fact those
bugs end up being resolved by bumping the timeout without any kind of
investigation (and it happens, I know) is worrisome.
