    To me the main distinction between smoke and secondary tests should be 
runtime. It's hard in my mind to distinguish based on importance, because the 
relevance of a test depends on the change being done. And you would end up 
running all the tests before finishing your change no matter what. The workflow 
I had in mind was the following:
    
      1. Make a change
      1. Run Fast tests for my category of interest (e.g. **OperatorTest**). 
Oops there's a failure
      1. Fix the failure
      1. Run Fast tests for category **OperatorTest** again. Oops another 
failure
      1. Fix the failure
      1. Run Fast tests for category **OperatorTest** again. Yay they pass
      1. Run all the tests
      1. Done
    
    Let me know what you think.
