<irony>Isn't that what we are already doing by telling our users to run the build with tests set to skip?</irony> This is not to say that taking long-running stuff out of the build by an annotation is a whole lot better - committers won't be annoyed by long running tests anymore as a result and might be even less likely to fix them. That part of my branch just helped me to iterate more quickly by having a build that fails quickly in case of trivial mistakes (due to the faster tests failing) and having a few slow final iterations to fix the rest.
