They're not acceptable and usually it's very easy to not use them.

The tests should all run in a self contained environment with *minimal* dependencies on the environment. False positives are the plague of tests as we're currently experiencing. 61 continuum mails this morning. We really need to all have a look and fix that as otherwise real problems are hidden and we're loosing faith in our tests. Since today is a bug fixing day we should completely fix our Continuum tests today at the very minimum.
