For example, "regular (linux-gcc-default, gcc..." does not tell me much about how it is different from "regular (linux-gcc, gcc, ubunt...". The question I ask most often is "which one of these ones is the job that runs tests twice, the second time with nonstandard settings?", or "Only windows-test(4) is failing, but not vs-test(4); what area did we break? What is in (4)?". I do not think relabelling "windows" -> "w32" (why not "win", by the way?), "vs" -> "w32/VS", or "regular (\(.*\))" -> "\1" helps me very much in these questions. I however think the blame for it lies mostly on the original naming, not your effort in this series. The job that is now called "linux-leaks" used to be "regular (linux-leaks, gcc, ubu...", and there definitely is an improvement, so "regular (\(.*\))" -> "\1" could help if the original was named properly. It is easier to spot what the job is about for that particular one. I find this of mixed value, ranging from "Meh" to "Hmm...nice?".
