If there were multiple failures and only some were identified, it would be reasonable to *not* automatically recheck. Given that we have issues with resources available to the gate it would also seems like a benefit to allow us to only recheck the actual jobs which fail. ie if 1 job fails, don't recheck all 8 jobs because that is just wasting resource and increases the chances of failing again, and again and again which wastes more resources and everyone's time.
