I've been thinking about this for a while. Some packages have tests
that are meant only for upstream in certain conditions
and are not meant to be ran during installing. As we have ARCH teams,
couldn't we think a way in which TEST teams can
be created? I mean, a bunch of devs only focused on making tests work
or just restrict them?

This team (or a Gentoo project) can work hand by hand with other teams
and ARCH members.

Is it even possible?
