I would assign the `failed` var directly.
```ruby
failed = execution_plan.failed_steps.any? 
execution_plan.failed_steps.each do |step|
  Notify.warning(_("Failed to perform additional action %{action}: %{message}") %
                       { :action => step.action_class.name,
                         :message => step.error['message'] },
                       { :asynchronous => true, :persist => true })
end
```
