Description

**Describe the problem/challenge you have**
It's very hard to prove the absence of bugs, and classically this class of bugs is very hard to find/detect/reproduce

**Describe the solution you'd like**
luckily for us, some folks at vmware and UIUC are working on this "sieve" tool: https://github.com/sieve-project/sieve

**Anything else you would like to add:**
Note that sieve is marketed as still in very early stages; imo this would be interesting to explore but if it's rocky we would have the options of reaching out directly for assistance and/or putting this thought onto the back-burner for a few months and coming back to see if the tool is more mature.

Note also that the sieve tool is described in the kube-con talk "Automated, Distributed Systems Testing for Kubernetes Controllers - Lalith Suresh, VMware & Xudong Sun, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"
