Please describe why your using this option

Scrolling back in the history of Actions, it appears the last time the Main tests passed was in this run, about 6 months ago.

Actually, that's not entirely true. There are a couple of tests that passed about 5 months ago, but with lots of intervening failures.

Probably we should stabilize the codebase and get tests passing again.

I haven't looked into why the tests are failing, but there appear to be multiple causes, as some tests fail based on the integration steps and others fail based on the tests steps.

Anything else you'd like to mention?

It seems that CI can be green again after the fix for #1116. But in #1121 (comment), sigmavirus24 complains that the integration tests are flaky. Is that the cause of all of the CI failures for the past 5 months?

I've spot checked a few failures of Main in the past month or so, and the failures appear to either be failed integration tests or the failure brought about by pkginfo, so I'll repurpose this issue to address the integration tests.

Aha. I see #684 is already filed to address flaky integration tests.
