I'd like to propose adding the Jenkins Pipeline plugin as a way to help
reduce load through number of jobs [1]. If we were to take jobs that spawn
multiple jobs such as test_katello that does 4 different test sets each
spawning a separate job and use the Pipeline plugin this could be reduced
to a single job with multiple stages. These could either be parallelized to
keep the current view of all pieces that break or do a true serialized
pipeline with the fail fast jobs early to keep the test jobs as short as
possible and eating as few slots as possible.
