It would be beneficial to adjust rules as we'll see how useful they are as time progresses. Configuration of rules is external to the service so it will be possible.

The status should not prevent a possibility of merge but if the cross next to the commit would be a problem we can add an override to disable tyr check (meaning make it pass manually) with a comment or similar as suggested above.

The time the cross becomes a problem is if we adopt a set of verification rules that we know will regularly trigger a failure to be ignored, if the failure cases to be ignored are truly exceptional cases then the cross will be useful.
