It looks like https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/16192 was merged without 2 reviewers approving. I had also discussed this with Scott separately, indicating I wanted to review this change given the build / dev environment changes. Yet, it was still merged.
I think I'm ultimately ok with the mongo changes, but I'm not ok with the async changes. The async changes are fixing a symptom of a problem - not cleaning up data correctly - and we've now changed the contract to silently fail. So are the tests "fixed"? Yes, but only because the failure is silent now. Worse, there's no indication of the silent failure. We should fix the problem, not the symptom. I'm a -1 due to this.
