   Thanks @KacerCZ and great work!

   Yes, this is a major concern at the moment - this email on users @ infra (private, unfortunately) worth a read - https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r748a0e034256f22c240d6a00cece0e005724a3173cfbb478b548d979%40%3Cusers.infra.apache.org%3E
   
   The short version is that ASF is already close to maxing out available runners at times, and NetBeans is already one of the top users (although not really that high in comparison to some).
   
   So, I'm saying -1 to merging this (not the implementation!) until conversations on dev@ and with infra and we can be assured we can do this without negative impact.
   
   > For example some tests may need to only be carried out on a cron schedule and not for every commit
   
   An annoyance I have with our GitHub Actions as opposed to the Travis CI config is that at the moment a failure in GitHub Actions needs all tasks to be re-run, whereas Travis allows for retriggering the failing test only.  (At least I've never found a way to retrigger part of a GH workflow?).  So, the tests on Travis that have a tendency to fail at random would definitely be good ones to move off PR testing.  Let's try and keep PR tests to the ones where going red is a sign of serious issue.  I'm certainly a fan of no merging until green!  But that can be a little awkward right now.
