I guess it comes down to who we expect to run --all, and whether they
would be able to recover their machines if they become bricks.

For example, when running fwts at UEFI plugfests we *want* users to
trigger any serious bugs, without making it unnecessarily complicated to
run all the tests, including the unsafe ones.

FWIW, I'm all for including the unsafe tests in --all provided that the
change is made blatantly obvious, so that users are not caught unawares.
