If the old run is no longer relevent (as run date October 17 suggests)
who would be responsible for removing it?

I tend to like default (black) text to indicate there is no error, and
only colour-code things that need attention.  In your scheme it is the
reverse, black being an 'abandoned' test suite.

I'll leave it to the regression-reporters to work out the right
granularity though, it's easy to be the touch-line quarterback on these
issues ;¬ )
