The way I read that article is that each slave runs a separate job. So we'd still have to split a Mustella run up in a lot of separate jobs (i.e. flex-sdk_mustella-spark.components.Label or something). I don't see (yet) how we would collect the results from all the runs and combine them into a report we can send to the list(s).
