I've wondered what this might look like if you did "proper" stats on what was happening - there are all these variables, like choice of worker, the job itself, properties of that job (such as which app its trying to run). I've wondered if you could usefully extract and use information like "this app always fails on these workers", or "this job always fails, no matter where it is run".
