I can see the need for such view, but somehow, it also makes it less
clear than the old version... since sid and exp look the same. Also, it 
is
not true that "exp is always the same" since you could have a package 
in
exp, and not in sid. So it makes it mandatory to look at the pointed 
url
to understand the meaning.

IMHO, it would be "nicer" if buildd links could be colored when some 
package
is failing to build on some arch. It would still be visually clear 
which
suite is impacted, and adds the information about the buildd state.
