# The Success and Failure return classes are implemented to give a more
# intuitive/logical approach to the default flow.  The value given to the return
# of each task depends on the objectives of the task and of the place where the
# task is situated inside the totality of the flow.
# Examples:
# 1. If the plugin is in the diagnose flow and if found nothing wrong with the
#    system it is analysing, the return value would be Success.
# 2. If the plugin is in backup and the backup action is unseccessfull, the
#    proper return value would be Failure.  In this Success would mean that
#    the backup was successfull and the plugin can move toward the fix task.
# 3. If the plugin is in fix stage and the problem was not fixed, the return
#    value should be Failure.  On the other hand if the fix has been done
#    the return value should be Success.
# Remember that the actual values of the classes is not checked,  what is
# checked
# is that the return value be the specific class.
