Pull request #3207 (2022-08-07 09:01:08)

[BUG] skip check for no. estimators in contracted classifiers
This PR removes a stochastic failure from `main` coming from checks in tests of contracted classifiers, see #3206.

#3206 should be used for finding a better resolution of the failure, this PR simply removes the problem from `main`.
