      In response to SERVER-103438 we created this PR that moved core analysis to a standalone task outside of a display task. This has the benefit of not blocking the auto-reverter from running on a failing task until core analysis finishes.

      There are other concerns that still need addressed regarding core analysis though:

      1. Cost - the waste of money used for AWS machine
      2. Evergreen availability - if evergreen is busy doing core analysis and we reach some threshold we won’t have enough machine available to do other work.
      3. Patch time - The developer will get notified when a patch complete only when also the core analysis are completed. This can be a big productivity drag

      It would be better still if we programmatically determined if core analysis actually needs to be ran for the specific failure case.
