I try to discourage people from using waivers as far as possible, as it
can cause significant disruption if someone waives a failure that
propagates to future updates. It really ought to be possible in all
cases to resolve the problem some other way - if the failure is false
it should always be possible to resolve that a different way, IMO.

It's also unfortunate that you cannot practically waive failures
individually ATM (you *can*, but only by manually sending requests to
waiverdb, and nobody does that). The Bodhi button waives *all*
failures, and so carries a significant risk that a genuine failure may
be inadvertently waived alongside a false one. I know somebody had a
plan to implement per-failure waivers in the Bodhi UI, but I don't know
when that might actually get done.
