If you click on the revision number, though, it will show the diffs
from which you can see that the line has been there before.

I'm afraid you are the only one who can answer that for sure --
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/status/explicit-failures-markup.xml?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
My guess would be that at the time you didn't want to enumerate all
the failing tooselts (most of them, I'd guess), so you've opted for
simply putting a star there and having dark green for the few that
passed (if any).
