I notice that you have test reports for your most recent version that came in 12 hours ago but some reports from earlier versions came in only a couple hours ago. I had always figured that a new upload would cancel the testing of an older version, but you can see here that is not happening. Every version is getting placed in the queue for every automated smoke tester. Your latest is just waiting to make its way to the front of the line.
