I thought a builder only handled one branch.
But yeah, speaking more generically, a page where the horizontal
axis was branches and the vertical axis was platforms/test types/whatever
does sound useful.

So something like http://buildbot.buildbot.net/grid
except only show the most recent build for each builder
(i.e. only the leftmost column), group the builders by
everything-but-branch, and then display them at a horizontal
offset corresponding to branch name?

I can imagine a new web status view that does this by providing
a regexp on categories for each row and column; you'd
then assign a category name of builderkind_branchname
for every builder.

Is that kind of what you're thinking of?
