The risk here is that this disabling gets forgotten about. From what I
understand so far, this sqlite regression does actually cause a real
potentially user facing issue in mediascanner, so why are we letting
that slide? Have other options been considered such as reverting sqlite?
At a very minimum, as Julien suggests we should make sure that we keep
track of such disabled tests and ensure that a real fix is identified
that allows us to re-enable them as soon as possible.
