I think it's a good idea to run a force-parallel run on some buildfarm
members. But I'm rather convinced that the core tests run by all animals
need some minimal coverage of parallel queries. Both because otherwise
it'll be hard to get some coverage of unusual platforms, and because
it's imo something rather relevant to test during development.
