We could use a different color for bubbles with skipped platforms.

This would not be used for the "final" patch for review; only for intermediate patches where an engineer is trying to make a patch compile for a port that they don't have access to build.

Obviously this requires some trust, but marking skipped platforms with a different color would make this pretty obvious.  Maybe commit-queue could refuse to commit a patch with skipped platforms, too.

Of course, maybe developers would be too lazy to use this anyway, so implementing it wouldn't be useful.  :)
