I'm surprised even the ARM machines managed to build so many packages
that fast!  Great :-).

There doesn't seem to be a technical limitation in allowing to filter on
'newly broken' packages; we can already see in the shared bag of 'failed
builds' that some are new failures (they have a down arrow icon), so
Cuirass already has that data; it's just not possibly to query it precisely,
unless I'm missing something.
