What is the rationale behind the distinction between "stable" and "unstable" buildbots? I ask that because the OpenBSD buildbot has failed compiling 3.0 for quite some time, but since that buildbot was in the "unstable" bunch, it was not discovered until someone filed a bug report for it (see http://bugs.python.org/issue3696) .

Mostly, it was a determination that Neal and I made at Pycon, about
which bots we should "trust" to judge the health of the trees. I
don't think the current list needs to be set in stone, and in fact
several of the "stable" bots have had simple svn or other non-tree
related problems for a while.

As for the "unstable" ones, I personally rarely check them.
