[Buildbot-devel] A question about colours

I've made a couple of changes to buildbot now, and I have a question that's
been puzzling me for a while.  It concerns the way colours are used in the
Waterfall (and probably other displays).  It seems that colours are decided
at the point an event occurs (e.g. a step fails, so it's set to red).  If
colours could be changed (one possible solution to #207) this would seem to
have the effect of _not_ changing historical builds which seems to be
inconsistent to me.

If the status were stored as a status, then it's colour would be decided by
the Waterfall at the point of display

Am I missing something? Is there a reason for doing it this way? or is it
just historic?

Regards,
Neil
