 Hello,

 It seems the 'SKIPPED' buildstep status is no more reported in the
 waterfall. I think it was reported in buildbot < 0.8.0.

 I have not tried yet but I think it is possible to override the default
 templates to get the step results using getResults() method and see if
 'SKIPPED' is in the results. More info soon ...

 Still I considere this as a bug :

  - Buildbot should report very clearly if a step was skipped or not .
 Currently if a step was skipped we have the 'finished' status which can
 upset users : we have to look at the twistd logs to make sure the step was
 not run.

 Also it would be great if the API could provide a 'isSkipped' method for
 the BuildStepStatus class. It already provides isStarted and isFinished
 methods ...

 Thanks a lot for you help and comments !

 Cheers,
 CH
