Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The buildbots should be running with the resource enabled (run the full
set of tests, every time).

If we need the reproducible results with the resource disabled, then a
random seed (different for each successful run) can be saved in a
logfile so that a particular pattern of tests can be re-run.

The idea to run some random tests when the resource flag is disabled
provides more coverage than not running any tests at all.  This was very
helpful during the early development of the decimal module.
