Skip isn't spurious here. I don't see how this impacts tagging the
earlier tests. So the only question for me is whether SKIP or NOTRUN is
more applicable. And skip is far more informative when run by hand...

Skip means the test exists (and under dynamic we presume applicable) but
could not be run due to an external event.

What improvement do we expect here? If it's just working around
mistaken cibuglog policy, then I don't see anything...
