Good suggestion here- I have seen so many cases where a simple
fix/disabled/unknown/needswork just do not describe it.  Let me work on a
few new tags given that we have 248 bugs to date.

I am thinking maybe [stockwell turnedoff] - where the job is turned off- we
could also ensure one of the last comments indicates this.

also [stockwell fix] -> [stockwell testfix], [stockwell bandaid] (for those
requestLongerTimeouts(), etc.), [stockwell productfix], and [stockwell
reneabled].

we have [stockwell unknown] for tests that stop failing as frequently, this
could be: [stockwell reduced], [stockwell wrongbug], [stockwell unknown] <-
for real unknown

Just tracking what we disable vs fix is a big step towards keeping track of
this problem.  I know there are other tests which are disabled outside of
the view of stockwell, but we catch most of them.  In fact, there have been
cases where we have waited a few weeks and finally had a patch r+ to
disable and waiting one more day and in that day we saw a fix land
(including one today!)  I would like to think we are patient- making sure
that we consider a longer timeout is the type of data I want to hear-
possibly there are other things we could do to help narrow down or bandaid
the test along.
