Fair enough. Now we aren't exposing redeployResoucres to users there is
no real need for the renaming.

Possible since we no longer allow user configuration of this.

I wanted to ensure that FailedContext did the absolute minimum. Any of
those approaches could be made to work. I selected the implement the
interfaces directly approach as it is the simplest to review to ensure
it does what you want it to and no more.

This would be my preferred choice.

See response to b)

It needs to support addValve() (I forget what calls this) but it doesn't
need to keep a record of the Valves.

Thanks for the review so far. I'll update the patch.

I'm in two minds whether to apply this patch before or after the 7.0.23
tag. There are clearly issues here that need fixing but the patch is
quite invasive. I'm leaning towards tagging after the patch is applied.
Thoughts?
