That won't be different for what was the original question here, i.e. conditionally disable tests. bconds are what we have for better or worse. And really, this seems about bootstrapping not disabling tests, which are not completely different, but nobody can objects bootstrapping, while disabling tests might be good just to improve build speed and nothing else. That should never happen in production environment IMO.
FTR the discussion here is about packages that already have a bcond/macro to disable tests -- Tomáš proposed a common way of doing it. This discussion is not about adding new conditionals to packages that don't have them.
Whether or not disabling tests has legitimate use cases is out of scope here. It happens. We just want it to be more predictable when dealing with packaging in bulk.
As a metaphor (arguably not a very good one), imagine combustion motor vehicles. They pollute the environment. We are proposing to introduce colored emission stickers. You are discussing whether we should have such vehicles at all. While such discussion is certainly legitimate, it is out of scope. Sure, if we discard all gasoline- and diesel-powered cars and switch to electric or bicycles or perpetuum mobile, we don't have to put the energy into the emission stickers project. But how likely is that?
