Yeah, "long" tests and things like that are exactly what I was thinking.
I should add that there are several nuances that will require a review of all downstream labs projects etc., that inherit from jclouds-parent. Testng is flexible with regard to these groups, but certain things like @BeforeXXX annotations in parent test classes also respect group names and you must specifically name the group or tell them to run every time or else the bare @BeforeXXX annotations won't run. I see evidence from early jclouds code that this was known, but some more recent work doesn't take that into account. I am also capturing test statistics to compare the old and new approach to make sure we get the same tests run :-) I'll try to get this published in a PR soon so you guys can see the changes required and discuss options.
