D:C might need another color which is displayed in such cases. Once I got a red, analyzed the situation and decided it is a good red I'd like to be able to signal Devel::Cover about it. Still I'd like to be able to easily see which cases were "missed, but OK". It could be reported somehow with a color such as dark green or purple. This extra color still leaves place for questions on the side of the management so there could be a flag such as --mcl (manager compatible report) that would turn all the purple parts to be green.
