This is a great point. Many years ago I had some spare hardware and
wanted to setup a build animal. I looked through the list to see what
unique permutation I could provide, but it was a very manual process! It
would be nice to at least have a list of "wanted" configurations.

Perhaps a summary of the currently running configurations. So you could
see, for example, which compiler versions were run in the last week, and
perhaps how many animals were running it. Basically, some meta information
about the current runs, which could help us drive the "wanted" list.
