Maybe we need to decide which distributions/versions we want to offer to
our users? Many run on CentOS-7 and there is no reasonable way to
include Python3 there. I assume other commonly used stable distributions
(Debian, Ubuntu?) are also lacking Python3.

IMHO disabling a test may be done, but we need a strong commitment that
someone is looking into fixing the problem within the next X days.
Ideally the test stays enabled, and the patchs exposing the race
condition (my assumtion) gets reverted. Disabling a test may obviously
introduce more problems that need correcting after merging more 'not
fully tested changes'.
