No - it's a different pair of shoes. "auto-clear" comes into action only after a resource has failed - which in my point of view should only be the case when there is something completely wrong and can't be fixed automatically - but in that case a human intervention is needed any way - or there is something wrong with monitoring-methods or the cluster-setup. Clearing the fail-count is a more common situation: Timeouts of monitoring procedures, a monitoring that monitors too early, or a temporary resource failure which should not cause a failover are here the main sources - in these cases a warning would be ok - but human intervention is not normally needed.
