No, I will need to review the test results from the past two weeks.

Tests I remember causing trouble:
- avocado tests: plain unreliable, most of the time the CI job fails
but the test output doesn't show hard failures, just a bunch of
warnings
- netdev-socket: UNIX domain socket tests are non-deterministic
- qemu-iotests/161: randomly complains that another QEMU may be
running (file locking cleanup is probably racy)
- cfi and s390 jobs are particularly prone to random failures/timeouts

There are more that I don't remember.
