I think we've learnt that /anything/ you look at on patches.linaro.org
can be used to promote inappropriate comparisons. I kinda feel like
putting "A Disclaimer from the Linaro VP of Engineering" on each page of
the patch tracker, but let's see if the problem gets worse.

In this case the benefit of being able to easily see what the team has
produced probably outweighs the comparison risk.
