Disabling regeneration of documentation I get, but why would you
disable running the tests? That stuff is important to ensure the
packages aren't broken as you maintain them, patch them, etc.
Typically because test dependencies aren't included in the
distribution. They don't get ignored, but they're not run at RPM build
time.
