Description

A JobStatusListener is notified of changes to the job status, and is currently also provided with error cause should the job have transitioned into a state where a failure cause is present.

However, none of the existing implementations make use of said error, and having to provide the error also means that it is more difficult to work against this interface because one must be aware of failure causes.

We could remove the error cause to remedy this.
