1712406 - Stop running the AWSY tp5 test

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: AWSY, task, P2)

Description

We still run this pageset, but I can't think of any reason to still run it. Maybe we were initially running it to have some comparison with tp6, but this page set is so ancient that I don't think it adds any value. By not running it, we can save some resources and reduce confusion (I just now got confused and was comparing tp6 with Fission enabled to tp5 without Fission!).

As a followup, we could remove tp5 support entirely from AWSY, for the same reason, that it doesn't add anything. There's also at least one annoying aspect to it, as seen in bug 1683920: by default the way to run it locally downloads the full tp5 pageset even if you aren't running it.

The pages used for this test are very old. AWSY tp6 is much more up
to date. Leaving around this old test wastes resources and is confusing
when looking at AWSY results.
