How do you see that working as integrated into Autotest? The basic idea
of a custom 404 for results might work but I'm wondering if the concept
of a custom 404 page would provide us with more utility if we had
FedoraQA specific information in it.
I see the case for multiple 404 pages. One where upstream autotest
provides one, and then any instances providing their own branded 404. I
think your idea fits well with the later ... our instance of autotest
(autoqa) providing a Fedora/AutoQA branded 404 page.
Thanks,
