I guess it would be mainly interesting for distro packagers, or I guess
people who wanted to run come kind of CI.

Without looking at the code, I think just ignoring the return value
would be relatively easy, while keeping track of ignored tests might be
a bit more work. Maybe Tomi has a clearer idea / finds this a fun
problem.
