For the first case, a common example would be a new RC bug. When the

package if first uploaded, no body filed an RC bug yet so britney may

flag it as "passing" the RC bug policy. Then before it migrates, someone

files an RC bug. Once britney becomes aware of this, it will change

the verdict from pass to a permanent failure. If the bug is closed

the bug policy (i.e. the policy verdict goes from "pass" to "permanent fail").

For the second case, there was a "hidden" example with the RC bug in

This means the policy verdict now go from "fail" to "pass".

This is also applicable to e.g. the piuparts policy, where if the test is

rescheduled on the piuparts side and the result changes as a result of that.
