We are facing sometimes the situation that a unit test job is successful and a mail with success is sent out to the developers but when they look into their dashboards the job is marked as failure because something went wrong when deleting the workspace on a slave. This is somehow confusing and we would be glad if there could be an option to ignore failures of the ws-cleanup plugin for the overall job outcome.
