The :unstable tag means to keep the code in foo-tests.el. The maintainer
can still run this test by selecting it explicitly, while working on a
fix. So it is a convenience feature for a developer.

And yes, we have too many :unstable tags in the test/ subdirectory
(~70). It would be great if we could solve some of them.
