Frankly, this worries me much more than not having ticket for some
trivial change to the code base.

If there's workaround in tests, it's some action that we do but
users/admins don't in their real setups. And that can cause failures
for our users that we don't see or even no longer know about because
in our tests, we've cleverly worked around them.

Either that workaround step is needed and needs to be documented, or
that step should not be needed and there should be a ticket describing
the issue.
