The one thing I don't like about the current FC4Status and FC3Status pages
is that they are sort of "abused" as some kind of bugzilla system, with
comments being added somewhere in the middle, which make the page
difficult to read.

As soon as permanent problems with a package are discovered, either the
packager ought to track this problem privately while it is being worked on
or a bugzilla ticket ought to be opened.

The primary purpose of the FC4RebuildFailures page is only to not lose
this list of failed rebuilds, as I suspect that only few of the build
problems are in bugzilla already.

If any not easy to fix build failure is found, bugzilla would be the right
place where to track it.
