Viewing the HTML reports for the API usage scans is fun and does reveal some interesting information, but it would be nice if two different scan result sets could be compared (i.e. generate a delta between two scans). This feature would allow consumers to ask 'what if' kinds of questions about migrating to a newer build (for example) without actually moving to the build and running successive builds to find out the migration will or won't work.
Created attachment 146884 [details] patch This patch compares to use scans and generates two new scans - one for added references, and one for removed references. We need a better presentation...

After reviewing our priorities for 3.7, we have decided to drop this item. Delta scans would be difficult to set up because the baseline might be a constantly moving target. Furthermore, it isn't clear how the report will be useful for anything except getting a general trend of internal references.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
