My plan for the near future is to run as much tests as possible in
parallel, so this would be a huge step back. :(

Looks like there is only a few tests that explicitly log out a user, so we
could make a separate Jenkins job(s) for them and make sure they lock other
jobs. We could run them at the start or the end of the test run, and run
other jobs in parallel. That would make sure they do not break other tests,
but it would not be a significant slowdown.
