Hank, Sorry if you misunderstood my words -- I did not thought your proposal was not serious, or a joke, but I liked the way you put it in words. It's very true that the unexpected can happen (and sometimes in Matterhorn it happens more often that it should).
I also agree with your statement that operators can be too busy to manually force-stop those failed workflows, so I guess you're so right with the idea of a 'Terminator' service which stop those workflows that have been idle for too long, etc., as long as the detection mechanism makes sure there's no "false positives" (i.e. does not stop workflows that aren't really failed). My concern is still who will have the resources to develop this task, but I think it's something that should be in the roadmap. Best regards
