Is there a way to provide a healthy timeout (or better capacity cap) for 
those tests? DEP-8 doesn’t seem to document one but maybe you have some 
hints…

Maybe we can avoid the described situation by running the tests serially 
(instead of the current parallel way). It’ll take more time, but if it 
avoids human useless interaction, I’m happy to try.
