Hi, Just to be clear, my intention with the repo I'm trying to create is to hold tests that are not acceptable in upstream Tempest by design (mainly whitebox testing). I think what John was referring to (correct me if I'm wrong) are tests that are acceptable Tempest tests but we lack the required infrastrcuture (hardware, images, ...) to run them in the gate. I realize now that the name I chose "nova-tempest-staging" might be misleading and I think it should be changed. Maybe something like "tempest-whitebox-plugin" might be more descriptive? As for the topic of skip-only tests, I think that it'd be a shame to reject valid and valuable tests simply because the gate is not equipped to run them. There are use cases for Tempest outside of the upstream gate, so marking certain tests as valid-but-skipped-in-the-gate seems like an acceptable solution to me. (I'm not a maintainer of the Tempest repo so please take my opinion with a grain of salt).
