node-test-known-issues, is this job used? can it be deleted? #1874
Description
quoting @richardlau
I do wonder if that job is still in-use. known_issues tests are run by default in the CI now for Node.js 10 (since 10.9.0, nodejs/node#21910) and above. It doesn't look like that job is chained to any of the regular CI jobs (also indicated by the low build job numbers) and if someone needs to do one-off known_issues test runs they can always use https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-custom-suites-freestyle/.
In agreement with @rvagg 's points about the CI being too ambitious to be tractable, I'd like to delete the job if its unused -- or prefix the job name with archived- to indicate it isn't used or maintained, or whatever the convention here is to clean up unused jobs.

@Trott in particular, do you have an opinion?

I have not used that job in a long time, if ever. I'm totally OK with it going away.

I renamed it with an
archive-prefix, and changed the description toI'm nervous to outright delete it, do we have ways of bringing them back if some infrequent user of the job panics?
