While some people want to get binary result of their job (0/1 passed/not-passed) - a lot of the times we want to seperate between the different statuses:

• Stable - everything passed
• Unstable - Test were successfully executed but found failures.
• Failed - Problem with compilation / configuration / runtime error.
• Aborted - Build time-out, someone intentionally stopped the run in the middle.

This gives a more realistic image of the build status.

I suggest a small improvement to build monitor plugin that would support more statuses and show more accurate dashboard of the jobs.
(I already created private patch to plugin - see screenshot).

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the more common need in the dashboard.

Thanks!
