I disagree :) - The CI is definitely worth it. Sure, some tests might need revisiting but a big majority of the tests are working fine:
https://infinispan.ci.cloudbees.com/job/Infinispan-master-JDK6-tcp/218/

We're down to about 13 failures in a testsuite of probably 2000 tests or so. That is very good already.

I don't think the testsuite is in such state that requires someone to spend a few days trying to get it work perfectly. It's desirable but we've got bigger issues to deal with IMO.

I'm more of a thinker that if you're working on something and you happen to encounter and test that fails randomly, fix it. You'll already have the knowledge of that code as a result of your work and will prob make it easier to fix the test or the underlying bug. IOW, I'm trying to be pragmatic here.
