I think we should go ahead with this as-is, and if it turns out in practice skipping would be better, that can be done as a follow-up improvement.

There is perhaps one other design decision we should at least consider before this is merged. The current implementation filters out tests that are de-selected by tags from the test suite, so it will be as if those tests weren't discovered at all. Is that what we want, or would it be better if de-selected tags were skipped using the unittest test-skipping functionality?
I haven't investigated feasibility of the latter, but I think it should be possible if we prefer it.
