Yep, I kept it simple. Often multiple assets all come from the same
server (eg kernel + initrd), and the same assets are used across
multiple tests.

I'm not sure its worth the effort to ensure we don't leave gaves in places
that need skipping.

We still intend that this skipping scenario is highly undesirable at all,
and want to try to ensure it never actually triggers. ie we want cache
working in GitLab CI, so that we almost never need to download anything.

Most likely place to see skips is for developers locally if they're
runing tests for the first time, or haven't done it for a long while.

With regards,
Daniel
