I would like to be able to mark a task BROKEN to be excluded from workflows and also to have the ability to search for all broken tasks. Tags would also allow us to: - "delete" tasks (Bug 590033) - mark a task "need-update" e.g. when it stops working with RHEL*/Fedora* ...and sure other clever applications, e.g.: - to mark tests known to cause problems in particular configuration (selinux policy, certain test harnesses, ...)
It's now possible to "delete" tasks in Beaker. Apart from that Beaker is not the place to manage this kind of test metadata, an external tool should be used instead.
