If the test has been flakey with no confirmed fix since Sept 2020,
then it is well overdue to be switched to disabled by default, at
least on the platforms it is known to be flakey on.

Non-determinsitic failures accumulate until you find yourself in
a situation where its impossible to get CI to pass. We must be
aggressive in either (a) fixing non-deterministic failures promptly,
or (b) disabling the test until someone has time to work on a fix.


Regards,
Daniel
