Or `@Ignore`d, sure.

Not really. Even if the source code lines are physically deleted, the
author can trivially resurrect them from Git history if and when they
have time to figure out what the flakes were about and how to fix
them. Something like

https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Flaky+Test+Handler+Plugin

would be handy, though today it is not Pipeline-compatible, and IMO
makes several untenable assumptions about project setup.
