I often look at http://testing.drupal.org/pifr/status and wonder why testing is stopped. I think it would be nice to have a couple of features:

1. When testing is enabled/disabled allow the admin to set a status message "All fine" "Stopped because of X" etc.
2. A brief explanation of what the two graphs mean (I've had a lot of people ask me what they mean). Here's a proposed text:

The Queue shows the number of patches which are not yet tested. The yellow portion of the pie chart (if any) shows patches currently being tested. If the Queue graph is missing, there are no patches waiting to be tested.

The Capacity graph shows the utilization of available servers. Red means that no servers are being used (though that could be because there are no patches in the queue). Green means that servers are busy.

I think for 2.x I'll redesign the graphs based on the feedback I have received. As for the status message I think that is a great idea.
