But with that in mind, I still don't see much point in running them at

message is now "skipped: Author tests not required for installation" or
the like, and the tests now only run when AUTOMATED_TESTING is on.
So now the tests will still get run during CPAN Testers and the like,
but regular installation will not be impacted.
Personally, I prefer AUTHOR_TESTING and run it as part of my automated
release process.
I turn on AUTOMATED_TESTING for all the Vanilla builds to skip past
things that want user prompts -- I think of AUTOMATED_TESTING as
limiting tests to things that are safe for non-attended operation. It
would be a surprise to me to find more tests turned on for
AUTOMATED_TESTING.
