Zhou has a lot of credibility in vdsm-devel, but we have a watchful eye here as well. Yes, I'd be proud to endorse Zhou as a Jenkins power user. I would only like to warn that we must make sure that no more than one functional test is being run per slave - vdsm process are quite primadonic. Is there a Jenkins mechanism to ensure that only one job (of a certain job class) is running on a specific host?

All and all, big +1.
