          I'd argue the weather icons are difficult to "distinguish" at any size. i.e. they don't really mean much to me - they are encoded with information that I interpret in a binary fashion - reliably passing - somewhat broken in the past

          On the front page I have icons as below. I have no idea what they mean apart from the sun probably meaning the build is ok and has been for a while. Also - in classic - the icons are hoverable with build status information - in BlueOcean they have no additional feedback.

          Icons

          What is the sorted order? Sunny, clouds, clouds with rain, clouds with lightning? Is that good for usability / discoverability?

          Hover information

          Have I derailed this ticket sufficiently now?

          bwalding what you are talking about for the hovers etc should be a different ticket IMO.
