GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 80084
Need unstable/extra report in status, unstable should only include core

We obviously need an "unstable/extra" status report for gnome2-based software that will not be included in the core GNOME 2.0 distribution, for example Fifth Toe applications and applications from other projects. Currently, these are all inside the "unstable" status, which makes it impossible to know what should be translated for the official GNOME 2.0 release by looking at it. The current "extra" status report could be renamed "stable/extra" in a similar manner.
Another, perhaps better, alternative would be to group the core modules alphabetically in the unstable page in a top table, and after that having the extra ones in a seperate table below that, so that there are two tables in each page, and still only one unstable report page. After all, less report pages means less pages to refresh each day.
And there are other viable reasons to split pages. One is usability: a gigantic page is really unconvenient to search for the place you want. Another reason is the mere HTML size -- it's already something like 270K in size. Adding extra thing can double it.
Fixed as separated pages. I will add more reports options in a near future.
