Before enabling anything like that a failed flag is an absolute must. 
The addition of such a flag would change the board-status repository 
from its current function (reporting known good boards only) to a much 
more useful repository of actual board status for specific timestamps.

If/when the board-status utility is modified to add a --failed option or 
similar let me know and I will enable reporting of failed tests to the 
board-status repository.

Thanks!
