Janis, given this I repeat my request that the build status page be
specific about which releases were tested.  I realize that you may not
have some of the details that came in before, but at least from here
on out the information should not be thrown away.

Also, the page should not assume no regressions (that is, we should not
assume that because 3.0.1 was tested, we know that 3.0.2 works, unless
we have a report confirming that it does).
