I also think that flakiness = intermittent failure.
One note about Purify and different environments: some tests become flaky
when run under Purify or other kind of tool. They timeout or hang, but only
sometimes.
And one note about layout tests: I was looking at the list of layout test
bugs, but I don't always know which are about real flakiness, and which are
real failures after merges. I think it would be better to apply the
FlakyTest label consistently, so I didn't label any of the webkit bugs. If
you want to do that, feel free to do so.
