For example, I am going to this webpage: https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/docker And from that page, I have to click to say (More information) below this 2020-04-20 20:23:33 and then I arrive to this webpage: http://data.guix.gnu.org/revision/b023a8acd38b57b159aeeef0ac6de73960f97e8b/package/git/2.26.2 Nice! All green!! :-) Another example, I am going to this webpage [1]: [1] https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/docker and say I click to (More information) below 2020-05-06 16:18:16 and then I arrive to this webpage: https://data.guix.gnu.org/revision/758f32afdbc6cf6018a2e76eef5085f6b693c15a/package/docker/19.03.7 Bad news! Docker is broken. Going back to [1], now I try another (More Information) until I find one green. Well, to avoid to click, I would like to have the red icon (X) or the green icon (V) close to (More information) to easily visualize which ones I want to click.

For people in paranoid mode? ;-) Cheers, simon
