dequarantine tests:
look at list of quarantined tests

sig-network is working on a dequarantine, but still discussion is ongoing
see whether we can dequarantine tests
misc topics
[fossedihelm] unit test with race: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/15561
the original --features race switch is ignored https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/15561#issuecomment-3244914538
Lee is working on a fix but it increases the runtime (~doubling it): https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/15561#discussion_r2332584442
Should we create a separate lane for it, leaving the unit test as is?
[dh] I believe race conditions should be caught at the earliest time possible, so I’d say an increase of the runtime is well worth safe-guarding against possible flakiness
