Thinking in terms of "developers look at single pushes on try, sheriffs
look at multiple pushes on non-try" is wrong on all four counts. Many of
the developer bugs filed on treeherder are because they keep open an
"&author=" tab showing several of their try pushes at once; I push to
try quite a bit, as do other sheriffs; I also sometimes look at single
pushes on other trees (generally for the same thing a developer, or I,
am looking for while looking at a try push: is everything on this
particular push done and good, so I can send this push to its next
destination?); any developer who never looks at the results of their
pushes anywhere other than try is just throwing themselves completely on
the mercy of sheriffs, not a group widely known for mercy.

Instead what we should be doing is developing a great single-push view,
which might include some (though certainly not all, widely separating
failures from passes of the same job is horrifying) of the features in
those mockups.
