Description
I enjoy looking at the graph a lot.
Though, today I started to notice that something is odd with it.
The current statistics are:
Pass: 95.3%
Fail: 3.4%
Skip: 1.2%
The distance of the 'Fail' graph from the zero floor should be 2.8 times the distance of the 'Skip' graph from the zero floor.
Though, that's not the case. Both graphs are very close to each other.
I don't know how this graph is generated. The math should be checked.
Either the numbers or the graphs (or both 😄) are off.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the linked gnu-results.svg compatibility graph is generated and compare its Pass, Fail, and Skip values with the plotted distances from the zero floor. Check whether the statistics, graph scaling, or both are inconsistent; done means the displayed percentages and graph proportions agree.
