Hi,

In the past, some tests have been flaky. It would be good if you can search
jira and see whether this is a known issue. Else, please file it, and if
possible, provide a patch. :)

Regarding whether this will be a reliable build, it depends a little bit on
what you are going to use it for. For development / test purposes,
personally, I would still go with it.

Thanks
Hemanth
