New description:

 It seems that there needs to be a way to classify builds on a builder in
 different categories for the purposes of being able to pick the "last
 build".

 For example, a MailNotifier email might want to include the status of the
 prior build during failure scenarios. However, the 'last build' might not
 be the chronologically-last one. For example, the "last build" for source
 checkins probably should not include force schedule builds that developers
 are running on test branches.
