Nearly, but I'm not interested in individual systems.

I'd like to see "which releases of Fedora build OK" or "what AIX
versions work with the latest stable release?". That requires me to
locate the systems which run AIX, which can only be determined by
scanning the whole list.

Not bothered what the UI is, just want to improve the value of the
information that has been generated.
