So... in worklists, there are the following sublists:
So when we attempt to retrieve a message... if it fails, whether it goes to failed or rejected depends on why it failed... for a 404... it would go to rejected... It isn't really rejected, it's actually failed in a way that retry will not help with, so we should not be putting it on retry queue.
I think failed would better be called... retry_later to better describe the purpose of putting messages there.
I think rejected is better described as discard
Making this change, is a breaking API change, since all plugins need to be modified, as they use the worklists.
It seems like an improvement in readability/ease of understanding... but... dunno... maybe not worth it.
