Given Sony contributed dexter and these tests - do you folks have any
interest/resources invested in keeping these tests green? If not, maybe
they should be removed? You can keep them to run when you want, but without
any buildbots running them they don't seem sufficiently valued?

Sure, whatever works for you - seems important to not have standing
failures like this one way or another.
