I don't think this view is useful without having a project-wide commitment to closing the tree to commits if any bot is red, which I would vote against. If most of the bots are regularly red with 1 or 2 failures, then the compacted view doesn't give you any useful information.

I'm not even sure which thing you're referring to here ..

Yup, this is definitely one.

Others:

* the per-bot stats pages
* the JSON builder output URLs
* the ability to "clobber" a bot without logging in
* possibly the list of failing tests in a waterfall entry rather than just "4 tests failed"
* the ability to trigger a build even if nothing has been checked in

Note that there are a couple things that the webkit.org bots have that the chromium.org bots don't, namely:

* the ability to see > 5 most recent builds on a bot page
* the ability to auto-restart when the master's configuration changes (this probably wouldn't ever fly in chromium land unless we could ensure that no active slaves were affected and we only restarted in-between builds).

There's probably other features but these are the ones I recall discussing (and can think of at the moment).
