Hello,

After some of the recent changes to the Gerrit workflow with Jenkins and Zuul, we've received some complaints about how Jenkins is reporting its results. Right now, it is using both the "Verified" and "Code Review" categories. This is bad because it gives you a false sense of what has been reviewed for most queries and dashboards.

So tomorrow, we are going to tweak the way Jenkins reports back to Gerrit by extending the Verified vote range from -1..+1 to -2..+2. This will allow Jenkins to give a range of results, all in the Verified category (and keeping it out of Code Review, which will once again only be for humans). The new Verified range will behave as Code Review does now (-2 is veto, +2 for submit).

Linting jobs will receive Verified ±1 votes. Unit tests jobs (triggered after someone votes CR+2, as it currently is) will receive Verified ±2 votes.

So, anyone who's got Verified permissions on a repository (project owners, this means you), beginning tomorrow at around 13:00 UTC you will see extended Verified options. We'll let everyone know when this is complete.
