When I use the Jenkins web GUI, I have never had a use for the `lastSuccessfulBuild` or `lastFailedBuild` links that are provided on the Jenkins home page.

Let's say a build fails because a specific test fails. I then want to open an issue in our tracker, and provide the link to that specific build. I don't want the `lastFailedBuild` link, because I don't know what's going to happen between now and the time someone looks at the issue. I want the direct link to the build which contains the build number, i. e. `<JENKINS_URL>/job/<JOB_NAME>/344`.

Currently, when I'm on the homepage, I have to click on the link provided, i. e.  `<JENKINS_URL>/job/<JOB_NAME>/lastFailedBuild`. Then I can click on "Previous build", and then "Next build". Or I have to edit the URL manually. On `.../lastFailedBuild` there is no link available that contains the actual build number.

Suggestion 1: Provide an option so that Jenkins only uses links with the build number on the home page.

Suggestion 2: On `.../lastSuccessfulBuild` and `.../lastFailedBuild`, provide a link with the build number in the breadcrumbs.

I do realize that the `.../lastFailedBuild` and `lastSuccessfulBuild` links are sometimes useful, so removing them from the home page obviously makes them less discoverable. They would still be displayed on the `<JENKINS_URL>/job/<JOB_NAME>` page under "Permalinks".
