Given the instability of many CI's it could make OpenStack look bad to customers who don't understand what they are looking at.  Just my thoughts on that idea.

That’s very useful feedback. Having that kind of background upfront is really helpful. As we make updates on the display side, we can take into account if certain attributes are potentially unreliable or at a higher risk of showing instability and have the interface better support that without it looking like everything is failing and a river of red X’s. Are there other things that might be similar?
