I think what would be nice is some way to view all the failures for a
given branch, extending back not-sure-how-far. Right now the only way
to see past failures is to look at individual machines' histories, which
is not real satisfactory when you want a broader view.

Actually what I *really* want is something closer to "show me all the
unexplained failures", but unless Andrew is willing to support some way
of tagging failures in the master database, I suppose that won't happen.
