Description

It looks like the tests `` is failing on several platforms. I would remove it.

See logs here: #507

I think that more elaborate explanation on why to remove this test is needed. If we would remove all tests just because they are failing then we do not really need any tests at all.

Could you please explain why specifically this test should be removed instead of being fixed?

From my point of view. It tests unsupported functionality. And it would cost a lot of afford to investigate it. I've spent some time debugging it but without any success. It fails randomly. I have some thoughts on catching it, but I am unsure whether it is worth it.

Hi, thank for your reply. Is there somewhere a list of supported functionality? So we could enclose it in the commit message in proceeding PR?

Here, we have information about replication. It's just a proof-of-concept functionality. That's why I interpret it as unsupported.
