Yes, that is the right approach in this case, since it really does
seem to be purely about timing.
Note that "breaks user space" is not about random test suites. For all
we know, a test suite can exist literally to check for known bugs etc.
No user space breakage is about real loads by real people, ie "I used
to do this, and now that no longer works".
The test suites showing behavioral differences are certainly always a
cause of worry - because the test may exist for a very particular
reason, and may be indicative that yes, there are actual real programs
depending on this behavior - but isn't in itself necessarily a problem
in itself.
