Is that really a downside though? Presumably if a task was unhidden in the
past, that's because it was stable at that point in time. And if it was
super flaky but for some reason still unhidden, then that's no different
than updating to an old commit that happens to have bustage on it. It's
always a risk.

Heh, true. I'm not sure how exclusion profiles work in treeherder, but if
that's a possibility, that would be a good solution.
