Such things as time stamps should be on all tasks anyway.

What do you think if in such case we will remove old tasks?
It seems to me that is correct event in which old verify_networks is
invalid anyway,
and there is no point to store history.

It is not that smooth, but in general yes - it can be done when state of
verify_networks is changed.
But lets say we have some_settings_verify task? Would be it valid to add
one more field on cluster model, like some_settings_status?
