Tasks, salt and a bunch of plugins are failing tests, has anyone has a chance 
to look into it?  e.g.:

  http://ci.theforeman.org/job/test_plugin_matrix/2015/#showFailuresLink

This most recent failure has me thinking again about the difficulties of being 
a plugin maintainer
for Foreman.

Would it be possible to get a standard plugin in Foreman's test matrix for PR? 
Perhaps tasks is a good
candidate.  Not on all databases/rubies, but something might help gain 
awareness of the impact of
certain changes on plugins. Katello is there, but it doesn't run all (any?) of 
Foreman's tests.

Along side that, we should be tracking what plugin maintainers need to do to 
update from one release
to the next.

It really is a recurring problem for me, that Salt is constantly broken due to 
incompatibilities
introduced in Foreman.   We do a poor job of tracking them.  Maybe if I'm lucky 
someone is nice
enough to send a mail to foreman-dev. Or if the planets align, someone opens a 
PR to foreman_salt
and fixes it. But more often than not, my project just goes red and I have to 
figure out why.
But this is just a side thing, and I rarely get to immediately look at 
failures.  They end up piling
up.

Very frustrating, as when I do find time to work on it, it's not to do 
something cool, but just
to figure out what changed in core and how to fix it in the plugin :-\
