What does "brown paper bag way" mean? It seems to be some kind of urban
legend at this point. A merge won't magically break all C files and
prevent Python from compiling. Especially if no C files were touched in
the first place!

If you are confident that you didn't introduce any issue then just
commit your merge and push (or run the tests which are relevant to your
initial commit).

Oh, and again, if some tests are slow on your system, then *please* open
issues about them (and/or investigate *why* they are slow). That's much
better than ignoring/blacklisting them.
