It seems we generally add crashtests even for softening assertions to
non-crash ones. I suggest that we mark those kind of crashtests debug build
only, so that testing machines don't need to waste time on testing them on
release build where they never crash.

I'm not sure how many crashtests are simply for assertions, hence I have no
idea how much time would it save. But I guess it might make difference if
we mark all coming assertion crashtests as debug build only.

I discussed this with dholbert on IRC, he preferred we keep what we
currently do, since he thought marking crashtest differently according to
what is tested could increase the mental burden and add the opportunties to
make mistakes. He also thought it would be better to have wider test
coverage for less-used code paths.

What do you think?
