I would like to have a filter for the job's upstream/downstream dependencies:
What about a include/exclude filter, that sums up all upstream and/or downstream jobs of given job(s)?

Example:

• job "ab" has upstream jobs "a" & "b".
• job "ac" has upstream jobs "a" & "c"
• job "all" has upstream jobs "ab" & "ac"

In the new job filter I can enter a regex for the jobs to care (in this case "all") and select something like "include upstream jobs".
As a result in the view list I can see "a", "b" & "c" (but not "all").

This would be useful to get an overview of a special job and its upstream jobs its based on.
When maven modules gets released and fixed versions in dependencies gets used, the according upstream dependencies will go away and the view list will automatically shrink.
