I think that I'm still going to want some custom code to remove the build start messages from SparkQA and it's hardly any code, so I'm going to stick with the custom approach for now. The problem is that I don't want _any_ posts from AmplabJenkins, even if they're improved to be more informative, since our custom SparkQA provides nicer output.
