I'd rather have some visible status on the BF dashboard. Invariably,
with a problem like this, the animal's owner is unaware there's a
problem. If it's just silently not reporting, then no one else will
notice either, and we effectively lose an animal (despite it still
burning electricity to perform those rejected runs).
