There are deeper reasons for my position.  Take a look at:

  http://google1.osuosl.org:8011/waterfall

the idea is to use the expected state of the testcases to determine if the 
color should be green or not.  The best use of a system like this is when the 
usual state is green, and any time a red appears, it is turned back to green, 
in time measures in minutes or hours, not days or years.  Now, do you think 
there is any value add to having a testing system that displays testing results 
across many platforms on a regular basis like this?  If so, how do you propose 
to decide on wether the color should be green or red?
