Agreed.

So I always thought it was silly when we relied on test names to select
tests to run or exclude in the past. I'm equally suspicious of adding
any sorts of categories or tags within the test sources. I don't think a
test source file should be changed if the category changes. Thus I think
maintaining the categories outside of the tests is a good idea.

Currently we maintain the categories as test lists. I think you could
call them tags just as well. Them being lists in files is just an
implementation detail. If a test is included in a test list, then it's
so tagged. If we wanted to, we could add more logic to running the tests
based on which lists the tests are in. For example, "in extended and not
in stress".

BR,
Jani.
