Probably because we disagree on what constitutes a "fix".

A "fix" implies correcting the error. The error lies with the test server and 
the network setup. Therefore, a fix implies changing something there.

Disabling the tests is not a fix. It's a workaround, one with side-effects. 
Since we will not stop making changes that affect networking code, disabling 
network-related tests means we'll be flying blind for a while. 

If we disable the tests, to be reasonably sure of not introducing regressions, 
we should also stop all changes to QtNetwork, event loops (QtCore and QPA 
plugins) and QObject kernel.
