Some runners can only afford to run regressions once a week or
so. Also, even one-month-old results for an exotic platform could be
of an interest if they are the only ones, although they probably
should be archived to another page or something along these lines.

Further thoughts are welcome.

It has been considered and rejected exactly for the reasons that
Martin referred to in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.testing/2267.

But once we have a more dynamic filtering of results by platform
etc. implemented, we could reconsider this as one of the possible view
options.
