Hi, Thanks for the KIP! In the Test Plan section you mentioned a few unit and integration tests are failing. Are these flaky tests or did you find issues related to ppc64le? If they are just flaky tests, I think we can remove that table and instead describe how often we intend to run the tests in the CI.
