Comment (by wearpants):

 The collective consensus has been that we'll live with flaky tests...
 though personally, I'd like to see some improvement here, as it seems to
 be an issue multiple times per week, and CI is slow - as a result, we have
 eyeballed failing tests and decided to merge anyway (IIRC, this introduced
 a bucket into master at least once, because the test was actually failing
 not just flaky).

 So I guess if there's a quick and dirty "fix" like retrying, that's worth
 doing but we should discuss further before investing significant effort in
 addressing root causes.
