The upcoming changes sound great!  Is there currently a way (or plans to add a 
way) to track regressions / improvements for a single measurement within a 
test?  I see that in perfherder I can add these measurements to a graph 
(http://mzl.la/1E17Zyo <http://mzl.la/1E17Zyo>) but it’s hard to distinguish 
between normal variation across runs and an actual regression by looking at the 
graph.
