Tell those people to chill out for a few days and not be so jumpy. You're talking about behavior that can easily be remedied.

It is a simple statement about the CVS repository: "CVS builds but may not pass the test suite in certain cases" rather than "CVS is perfect"

I would agree if it was only the python-dev crowd -- they are easily trained. But there are lots of others who check out the tree, so it would be a continuing education process. I don't see what good it does.
