Dividing the tests into different sections is as simple as creating one 
schedule file per section.

I'm not at all resistant to it. In fact, of someone wants to set up 
separate sections and add new tests to the different sections I'll be 
more than happy to provide buildfarm support for it. Obvious candidates 
could include:
 * code coverage * bugs * tests too big to run in everyday developer use
