This is useful and well-structured feedback, thank you. I think that what we want is the current table, with a way to show/hide the last two columns, and have them be hidden by default. ISTM that achieves everything wanted. We would need to move off the Debian wiki to achieve that, but I think that is a price worth paying, given the other footnote and CSS issues with the current wiki page. We could put the source in a repo writeable by all DDs on salsa, so we wouldn't be giving up too much by moving off the wiki. Then we'd use GitLab pages or similar to publish it.

This could remain on the Debian Wiki or also move to salsa. -- Sean Whitton
