Ace Haidrey commented on AIRFLOW-1508:
--------------------------------------

Agreed that currently it is not a big deal, but I still do think it's a 
potential bug source in the future, because SKIPPED is a task state. I was 
wondering why would it be bad if it was added in the payload? Seems like it's 
safe and doesn't hurt/ is more complete (just my thoughts). 

Yes our use case is at Pandora, we've built some infrastructure around Airflow 
and a plugin that is a BluePrint to collect stats on our instances (we deploy 
an instance per team), and then use a tool called Consul + Prometheus to 
monitor. So we want the metrics of all the different task states. 

It's not huge but currently have to have our looping like:
{code}
for task_state_type in State.task_states + (State.SKIPPED, ):
{code}
And I'm just hoping if future states get added we'd also pick up (being a part 
of task_states) on those rather than having to go see the code ourselves.

Also appreciate the response [~erod] :)

> In the airflow.state module, 
> [State.task_state|https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/master/airflow/utils/state.py#L44]
>  doesn't include the {{SKIPPED}} state even though the {{TaskInstance}} 
> object has it. I was wondering if this was on purpose or a bug. I would think 
> it should be part of the task_state object since that makes sense and will 
> help some of my workflows to not have to add this in manually. 
> I'm not sure who the appropriate person to ask is so thinking I'll tag some 
> people and get some feedback (hopefully that's okay)..
