I was actually mostly wrong here for the intended use case, since ben knows about "sid only" when using projectb it could also show this for version differences (e.g. red background colour for the version). There might be false positives when testing has a good version that is different from the version currently in unstable - ben would display that testing has a different version, not whether the version in testing is already good. > > Since the vast majority of binNMUs are not related to transitions, > > I do not think giving ben a central role makes sense here. > > I'm not sure what you are implying here.

From there it could also be shown in other places like tracker. ben already links to the tracker package of a package. I could imagine ben parsing excuses.yaml and displaying the information as a mouseover for the package version, similar to the other mouseovers. > Paul cu Adrian
