sbp opened a new issue, #1450: URL: https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/1450
Checks record `exception` check results upon certain kinds of error such as network failures, but still return a task `success`. A finding of #1395 was that we want users to be able to restart checks that fail due to transient errors, but this strange hybrid status means that we cannot. The idea of dual statuses was that if we catch exceptions, we knew that one might happen and the task handled it (as a check result) and therefore the task can continue to successful completion. Perhaps, instead, we should have two different kinds of task exceptions which indicate whether the task could be sensibly restarted or not. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
