This flag is weak... testing it gives absolutly no hint whether the
checkpoint may succeed or not. As it is designed now, a user can only be
aware that checkpoint is *forever* denied. I agree that it's only useful
as a "flexible CR todo list".

I don't think it's true that it gives "absolutly no hint".

If the flag is not set, then checkpoint will succeed, right? Whereas if the flag is set, then it's an indication that checkpoint could fail (but may still succeed if whatever condition caused the flag to be set is no longer true).
