Cert-checker failing when it finds bad certs has undesirable behavior on the deploy side (e.g. job failure due to bad cert discovery leads to unnecessary redeployment of the job and re-firing of associated alerts) and IMO finding bad certs is not a failure of the cert-checker (in fact, it did it's job, woohoo!)

This looks good. You've described separately why this is the desired behavior. Would you mind updating the PR description with that description? Thanks!

Because we also run cert-checker as part of Boulder CI, I think we don't want to lose this behavior. We might want to make this an optional behavior based on a flag? Or, we could follow-up in CI and specifically check the report or metrics?
