A couple of things spring to mind:

- I think it's more natural to have the checkboxes after the labels,
not before, e.g.

8.3 [x] 8.4 [x] 9.0 [x]

(I actually found it quite off-putting having them the other way around).

- By default, perhaps we should only show supported versions and
betas/alphas, so the grid isn't too big when the user starts.

- Should we automatically hide obsolete features if they're obsolete
in all displayed versions? Maybe that should be a checkable option (on
by default) shown below the list of versions along with "Hide
unchanged features"
