I think this is an anti patern,
1) we are already using flaky, so flaky test should be marked as such.
2) if it fails on first run and pass on --lf, this indicate that the
test are relying on a global state that should either:
- be investigated
- is known, and then should be given a specific marker to be ran
separately.
The only advantage is to delay finding issues.

Ok, It's annoying to wait. |

in addition:
--lfreruns the test without qt5 or qt6, so don't actually rerun many test.So this is actually bad as it hides errors.
If at least it was
cov:test||cov:test --lfit would make more sens, but here it's plainly wrong.--
This is just a suggestion and my reasoning. See #1323, and thanks to @davidbrochart for pointing out that there was the --lf.
