FWIW, also bear in mind that when a pipeline fails, it is advisible to
*NOT* re-run the pipeline, as that increases your odds of hitting another
non-deterministic bug. Instead re-run only the individual job(s) that
failed.

None the less, we should of course identify and fix non-deterministic
test failures.
