Perhaps a big initiative for 0.11 could be to get the builds to the point where flaky tests don't essentially gut the usefulness of the CI server (Pig 0.9 hasn't passed in 6 months, etc). I'm not sure how difficult that would be though, and what the benefit would be. But it's pretty annoying to be able to wrap up a release when there are a bunch of "known useless" tests.
