pigs, and was just saying to herself, `if one only knew the right
way to change them--' when she was a little startled by seeing
the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.

  When running test/e2e via the Ginkgo CLI, the v2 CLI must be used and `-timeout=24h` (or some other, suitable value) must be passed because the default timeout was reduced from 24h to 1h. When running it via `go test`, the corresponding `-args` parameter is `-ginkgo.timeout=24h`. To build the CLI in the Kubernetes repo, use `make all WHAT=github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo`.
