Well, OTOH such bogus reports are junk and should really be deleted. I had 
FAIL reports because the testing system crashed midway (or couldn't 
unwrap a tar file or whatever) etc. and these things really should be 
hidden from view or be deleted alltogether. I don't care how, but as a 
developer/user, I don't want to see them.

Best wishes,
