Replying to [ticket:248 kparal]:
Do you have an idea what we can we do about that? Maybe we can somehow write down the state of the -pending tag in the time of starting the test, and if it is different from when the test is finished, we can just throw away the results? Just a wild idea.
iirc, the changes wwoods mentioned will mitigate the problem using a procedure similar to what you mention above. However, that only mitigates the problem, the potential exposure still exists. Long term, I think we need some sort of locking/semaphore mechanism when publishing results to bodhi.
