Open Stack

Hey Deva,

It really could be a huge issue for incubated projects.

I have now good ideas about how to solve it...

One of the bad ideas is that we could extend jenkins success message
to include note that will be visible even if comment isn't expanded.
Or post separated comment like "Please, note that following jobs
marked as stable and, please, treat their failure"...
