Can we somehow make this default controlled by the database backend, so that
it only defaults to --parallel on backends which support it?
While not many, Oracle does have its own occasional contributors, and I'm not
sure this kind of change would be welcomed by the 3rd-party backends.
This could be done, I think, with a feature flag on the backend
("supports_parallel_tests"), defaulting to False, set to True on supporting
backends.
My 2 cents,
