To make the buildbot build page more readable for regular users, we should hide certain steps (especially when they are successful).

I'd like to see this active on the UAT environment first.

I can see the arguments for it, but there are also some pretty compelling ones against doing something like this. It may hide warnings which were classified as successes but eventually caused a later failure. Something that comes to mind (and has historically been a problem on trunk infrastructure) would be issues with stale SVN files.
