That's completely bogus. There's no reason to believe that a push race
would favour certain regressions over certain others. Again, you need
the full test suite to assert that no regressions occured.
(or you might as well run 10 tests at random and call it done)

If you think that some tests are more significant than others (why?)
then perhaps we can devise a limited test suite with these tests.
But these tests should be chosen on the basis of their nature, *not* of
their runtime.
