I wonder if the best thing would be to have an option for a  
TimelineOfEverything organized by slave, builder, or branch. As well  
as options to limit to one branch, builder, or slave.

* Organizing by slave would show me easily if all my slaves are busy.  
[1]
* Organizing by branch is most useful for seeing which (if any)  
branches are broken.
* Organizing by builder is the only thing supported now (right?) and  
probably the least useful. In my quick glance over public waterfalls,  
it seems many use a builder per branch; maybe this limitation is why.  
[2]

[1] - Though my perspective may be skewed by having mostly homogenous  
slaves (a documentation generator being the exception). Soon they  
will basically all be in the same builders. I just want to know if  
one is free; I don't care which.

[2] - I guess some of the branch work is pretty new, too. I'm sure  
that's some of it.
