[Buildbot-devel] Suggestions to group builders and avoid an overcrowded waterfall page?

[Esther Baruk]

Well, wanting to group builders is different from wanting to see what's 
going on slave by slave. You can have a two builders running on two 
separate slaves.
I just thought that it could be useful and logical to have this kind of 
display somewhere.
