Description Ales Zelinka 2015-03-17 11:01:36 UTC 
use-cases:

Test /test needs some custom environment setup. It is implemented in a separate task /setup. Workflow is aware of such requirement and tags the /setup task as 'setup'. Job runs, /setup task fails.

#1a invalid (because a 'setup' task /setup failed.)  results of /test can be ignored 

#1b harness can skip running /test altogether when /setup fails

#2 beaker-jobwatch cancels (and or reschedules) the job immediately after the setup task fails to save real and machine time.
