Yes thanks Ramy. That's exactly what this dashboard helps with and has existed
since January. I brought it up at the Cinder midcycle meetup, multiple times in
meetings, reviewathons, etc. I was letting it sit and have people try it out
before proposing to see if anyone had feedback. Since it has been sitting for
a while without feedback, I'll go ahead and propose it.
