It would likely be useful to establish what sort of tests are
acceptable from a %check section...

Remote network tests might be useful for some things, but they really
aren't appropriate for inclusion in built time tests. Perhaps if tests
were split into a compact/exhaustive subsets they could be included in
the exhaustive set.

What sorts of restrictions would be acceptable for build time testing
of packages? Memory consumption? wall clock on platform x? temporary
disk space usage?
