Ah, right. Morning here and I've just spotted that too after the
first results of the Meson era rolled in overnight. It shows the
latest result for each distinct task name, which now includes extinct
tasks (until they eventually get garbage collected due to age in a few
days). I clearly didn't anticipate tasks going away. Perhaps I
should figure out how to show only results corresponding to a single
commit ID... looking into that...
