Motivation
We are using nbconvert to run tutorials. nbconvert is not really made for this use case, but papermill is, so we have some handwritten code than can be handled by papermill. With papermill, we can go a bit further and use SMOKE_TEST as a parameter rather than an environment variable. That would make it easy for people to work with the tutorials as notebooks.
Test Plan
Ran tutorials locally and made sure smoke-test flag was getting used appropriately.
