• see whether we can dequarantine tests 

• misc topics

• [fossedihelm] Failures on arm were observed on building D/S test images with the following output:
  ```

• 05:08:59 03:08:49: /home/jenkins/.cache/bazel/_bazel_1003930000/b7dcfeb5ede25911045ea43a9cdfae82/execroot/kubevirt/bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/push_push-example-hook-sidecar.sh: line 52: ../jq_linux_arm64/jq: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

• 05:08:59 make: *** [Makefile:43: bazel-push-images] Error 126

• 05:08:59 + echo '❌ ERROR: Build failed for architecture arm64'

• 05:08:59 ❌ ERROR: Build failed for architecture arm64
  
  I suspect this is a regression from https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/13111
  
  [brian] Will take a look
