 * Hello,
 * The recently release version added a WP_http item to the menu bar while in the
   WP admin interface to point out requests that take a long time. I am observing
   that a lot of the time, those requests are to external websites for plugins to
   check for updates/licenses/…
 * I think there is value in this but it is a bit distracting to have the Debug 
   Bar menu item go red when these requests take a long time. Would it be possible
   to use a different color (maybe orange) or a different ways to mark these requests?
 * I think the color red should be reserved for when something is wrong (PHP/JS 
   error, database error…).
