So now I have a permanent note of "FAIL" in the records because your
automated bot ran out of drive space. I can't put into words how much I
appreciate that.
I think you're taking this a bit too seriously here. It's a bit annoying,
but not a disaster.
I'd sure appreciate it if the automated bot owners would actually look, with
human eyes, at whether their failures are legitimate before sending them off.
That'd sort of defeat the purpose of having automated bot, wouldn't it?
I suspect that if someone is using a bot to test a large swath of CPAN,
they'd get a fair number of failures, too many for them to review by hand.
What would be handy is a way to mark the report as invalid in the cpan
testers database so it stops showing up as a failure. Then authors could
ask testers to update these reports if they think the failure is bogus (as
it obviously was in the case you're responding to).
