As a complement to this, I suggest that we stop the Jenkins queue and
make the slaves available to people debugging specific failures.  We'll
probably need some way - e.g. an Etherpad somewhere - to coordinate
access so we don't step all over each other.  Also, one of us should
go through the last however-many failures and determine the relative
frequency of failures caused by each test, so we can prioritize.  Any
other volunteers before I spend hours doing it myself?
