This last point is the most important, I think.  Most of the time I look at
Twisted's buildbot, it's to see at a glance which, if any, builds are broken.  I
think this is the #1 use case.  Second is getting the details of what broke, and
who broke it.

So massively multiplying the pages seems counter-productive to me.

I suspect there's nearly as much advantage to running randomised tests on just
one platform as there is on many, so a good trade-off may be to just add one
more builder (to each branch) that does -r on just one platform.  I'm assuming
most of the issues randomisation exposes aren't platform-dependent.
