Do you mean 95% of failures must be 'real' (i.e. up to 5% can be
'false')? Is this after automatic retries and manual intervention by
the test system maintainers, or before?

Off the top of my head, 95% seems low. I'm pretty sure we do better
than that with openQA and people would complain if that was all we
managed. We usually maintain a 0% false failure rate after auto-retries
and <24h manual intervention -
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/group_overview/2?limit_builds=100&limit_builds=400
has 0 false failures ATM.
