+Subject: Temporarily disable tests that fail with sunpy 1.X
+
+ndcube is partially incompatible with sunpy. As discussed in the
+issue, there is no quick solution for this -- probably one needs to
+wait until version 2.
+
+However, the failing tests are limited to some plotting routines. To
+allow sunpy migrate, we temporarily disable these tests.
