Another major blocker is that we often add signatures for failures
which occur 100% of the time, and while those tend to get fixed a
bit faster than 1% failures, automatic rechecks would mean that for
some period while we're investigating the gate would just be
spinning over and over running jobs which had no chance of passing.

I suppose it could be argued that elastic-recheck needs a
categorization mechanism so that it also won't recommend rechecking
for those sorts of scenarios (all discussion of automated rechecks
aside).
