I have a commit I need to make under SERVER-48291, but it isn't a resolution of SERVER-48291, so it is incorrect to remove the TODOs. However, I can't get a green patch build or send it through the commit queue since it will be rejected by the TODO checker. A mechanism to bypass this check for instances where its application is inappropriate should be provided. Not every commit is a resolution, and not every TODO is made stale on commits mentioning a ticket.
