[Buildbot-devel] Is there a build-god? Or any aggregated view for multiple build masters?

I also sometimes like to view status via lynx.

Not really.  JavaScript engines are slow as dirt, and firefox tends
to freeze up on me when I disable NoScript.  Not really freeze, just
remain unresponsive for up to a minute, usually just 5 or 10 seconds.
Sometimes long enough that I decide I'd rather kill and restart it.
Plus it eats CPU like Pac-Man eats those little pellets.

JavaScript is just one very poor solution to one very real problem.
Just because it's the best that exists doesn't make it good.

This is a change from just 6 months ago.
