Description:

I noticed that on a site (http://aframomum.myspecies.info/) the updates on the darwincore module have not been running since october 2012, because update 7005 failed. That's now fixed - but the problem is that this site's updates have been failing for a while, and it wasn't detected.

Thinking about this a little further, this will be handled by the change to how we handle Scratchpads releases. Once we use Aegir for that, failed updates will be handled automatically (the migration to a new platform will fail). I think implementing a service to fix this between then and now will not be a good use of our time.
