I agree with you. However, I do think execution states would be good
to store somewhere, so that UIs can show users the state of the tests
as they are running (queued, running, error). It makes sense to me
not to store them in the same place as results.
Back in the Taskotron days, we had a dashboard to show the execution
status of jobs separate from test results called execdb.
I'm under the impression that there's a dashboard project in RH that
accomplishes a similar purpose. It will be open sourced if it hasn't
been already but I don't know what the plans are around using it.
