Unexpected results are all unknown. If they're known then they're
expected results.

I've just written this on how to deal with validate failures not caused
by local patches:

I hope to do some work on this soon, e.g. add a way for build results to
be uploaded to the server by the builders. However, I've been spending
my time on more pressing matters recently.
