Jenkins Unreliable
From time to time Jenkins fails when it runs. This is not caused by the new code being checked in, but it could be some racy problem.
An example of this is the https://jenkins.typesafe.com/job/akka/68
Where Brendan checked in the durable mailboxes, but the test: akka.cluster.replication.transactionlog.writebehind.snapshot.ReplicationTransactionLogWriteBehindSnapshotMultiJvmNode2 fails. Something
that is not related to Brendan his functionality.
Later when Brendan adds documentation and checks it in at build https://jenkins.typesafe.com/job/akka/69 the build is a success.
So something non deterministic is going on.

We have explicit tickets for the failing tests.
