And to clarify more: Not all tests run right away, some are more expensive and run on a schedule. These are part of that. Should some of these tests be moved up to run immediately? Yeah, but we'd need to define the set of 'smoke tests' (tests that just test basic functionality, quickly) because we can't run all the tests all the time.
