Why your CI can't watch for "blocked for more than" message instead of
setting the taint flag? How does your CI decide a reboot is necessary?

There is no need to set the tainted flag when some task was just blocked
for a while. It might be due to memory pressure, it might be due to setting
very short timeout (e.g. a few seconds), it might be due to busy CPUs doing
something else...
